Author Information:
Suzanne Bloom is the author and illustrator of 18 picture books and the illustrator of one written by Patricia Brisson and two more written by Eve Bunting. Using either pastel or gouache, her illustrations have been called “riotously colored”, “wickedly humorous” and “rampant with homey detail” by reviewers. The stories are known for their "sweet celebration of differences" (Kirkus Reviews) and "straightforward storytelling" (BCCB). One, in particular, is "wonderfully alliterative" (School Library Journal). She and her imaginary friends, Goose, Bear and Little Fox, Grant, Samantha and Antoine, Gus and Tess have received some lovely awards, such as the inaugural Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor award, ALSC Notable Children’s Books, Texas 2x2 awards (twice) and the Pennsylvania One Book (twice) as well as inclusion in Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the Year list. Various titles have been translated into Mandarin, Korean, Dutch, German, Danish, Spanish and French.
