Author, illustrator, bookseller, and activist Julie Rowan-Zoch grew up collecting freckles and chasing hermit crabs in New York, and spent years slicing rich breads in Germany before waking up to 300 days of blue Colorado skies. If she doesn’t answer the door, look in the garden! She is the illustrator of Louis, written by Tom Lichtenheld (Clarion, 2020), the author-illustrator of I’m a Hare, So There! (Clarion, 2021), and illustrator of Not All Sheep Are Boring!, written by Bobby Moynihan (G.P.Putnam’s Sons, 2022).
