About the Author
Ann Whitford Paul had great fun packing an entire alphabet into this overnight bag after seeing all the "necessary" things her four children and their friends brought along on their sleepovers. She is the author of several picture books, including Hello Toes! Hello Feet!, illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott, which Kirkus Reviews praised as having "the exuberance of a charmingly extended jump-rope chant... simple and carefree activities are described form a foot's-eye view...(all) in perfect accord with reader's interests and perspectives." Ms. Paul lives in Los Angeles. Maggie Smith has treasured memories of childhood sleep-aways, especially those to Grandma's, for which she was sure to pack her elephant sweater, her red-flowered swimsuit, and Lamby. She is the author/illustrator of several picture books, including This Is Your Garden and Counting Our Way to Maine, an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists that School Library Journal praised as "More than a counting book, this lively summer vacation story will be a welcome addition to anyone's bookshelf..." Ms. Smith lives in New York City.
