Larissa Theule holds an MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts and is the author of the picture books Born to Ride- A Story About Bicycle Face, A Way with Wild Things, and How Do You Do? She lives in Pasadena, California.
Spun from a true anecdote and likely to move adult readers as well as younger ones, this set of quiet encounters between a writer and a child has as much going on between the spare, poetic lines as in them. . . . A tribute to the way words can change lives, as well as a rare glimpse of a writer most of us perhaps only think we know. --Booklist, starred review
