Joy Steuerwald (joystewy.com) also wrote and illustrated The Peculiar Pig and illustrated many books, including Moo (written by Jaye Garnett). She lives in Fremont, California, with her husband and her son, who inspired this story. They all live with their rescue pup, Olive, a rotating bunch of foster pups, and occasional Monarch caterpillars. If not for her husband’s allergies, there would also be bunnies!
