Estelle Laure loves watching kids connect with animals. The right pet can make a crying child giggle or a wiggly kid still and she thinks that is very special. Currently, she has five cats, one dog, and two children and can often be found trying to keep kittens off her keyboard and out of her coffee mug. The Perfect Pet for You! is her first picture book. She is also the author of books for young adults, and her work has been translated everywhere from Brazil to Israel among many other places. Visit her at estellelaure.com.
