About the Author

Kevin Lewis loves recognizing that bouncy, busy brown sugar baby spirit, especially when he sees it in the fans of his popular picture book favorites Chugga Chugga Choo-Choo, My Truck is Stuck!, and The Runaway Pumpkin. Kevin lives in a 200-year-old farmhouse in Newburgh, New York, with his husband, Phil, a dog named Kat, and two cats named Prim and Rue.

Jestenia Southerland loves stories that spark the imagination, and the potential of passing that feeling on to others is what drives her as an illustrator. When she's not drawing, she loves spending time with her two dogs, Kojack and Katia.

Cottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children’s books. Our books are designed to spark curiosity in the littlest readers and fan the flames of lifelong learning. We understand children deserve our respect. That's why we always select artwork and stories that encourage caregivers to "read up" to their little ones––exploring interests together, learning together, and giving their young minds room to grow.

We also believe in creating stories that reflect the boundless possibilities of all children. We hope to create books that inspire little ones to connect, encourage them to dream, give them cause to celebrate, and allow them to see themselves beautifully reflected in the stories they read.

To bring these beautiful stories to life, our diverse and talented staff collaborates with authors and illustrators from all backgrounds and nationalities. We have also partnered with multicultural brands and literacy organizations to make sure our books reflect and reach as many little ones as possible.
