About the Author

Andrew Gold was a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who worked on everything from TV theme songs (including "Thank You For Being a Friend" for The Golden Girls), to Linda Ronstadt records (like her breakthrough album Heart Like a Wheel), to his own top-40 hits, such as "Spooky, Scary Skeletons" and "Lonely Boy"-and so much more. Sanne Dufft lives in beautiful T bingen in the south of Germany with her husband and her teenage daughter. She sketches, paints, and writes whenever-and wherever-she can. She has a degree in art therapy and a lot of experience with children, which has shaped the way she paints and the stories she tells. Her books have been published in Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Romania, the UK, Australia, Canada and the US. She loves painting in gouache, watercolor, and with colored pencils, aiming to develop a particular visual language for each project.
