than twenty-five years, her unique titles have
fascinated babies, toddlers, and preschoolers
with their childlike simplicity, bold outlines, and
bright colors. Favorites like Hooray for Fish!, I’m
the Best, Peck Peck Peck, and Yummy — and of

everyday experiences and interests. Her newest
picture book, Hooray for Birds!, invites little ones
to imagine themselves as brilliant birds — per-
