Anica Mrose Rissi grew up on an island off the coast of Maine, where she read a lot of books and loved a lot of pets. She now tells and collects stories, makes up songs on her violin, and eats lots of cheese with her friends in Princeton, New Jersey, where she lives with her dog, Arugula. She is also the author of Out for Wolf!, illustrated by Charles Santoso, The Teacher's Pet, illustrated by Zachariah OHora, and the Anna, Banana chapter book series.
