About the Author

Paloma Rossa believes that you are never too young – or too old – to practice mindfulness and other methods of improving your emotional well-being. And books are a loving bridge between parent and child.

When Paloma isn’t imagining and writing for children, you may find her tending to her field of lavender in southern Oregon, where she lives with her family and a lot of honeybees.

(psssst! Paloma Rossa is actually a pen name for the Cottage Door Press team who worked on this book.)

Stephanie Fizer Coleman is an illustrator with a penchant for playful color and rich texture. Having grown up in a rural area surrounded by nature, it's no surprise that furry and feathered creatures are her favorite subjects to draw.

When she's not drawing, Steph can be found sipping tea and reading books. She lives in West Virginia with her husband and two dogs.

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.
