Lauren Stohler lives and works with her husband Gareth in New York, where they create art and pug poetry under their top-secret internet pseudonym, Inkpug. Lauren is the creator of the Gnome and Rat series, which Publishers Weekly called "delightfully lively." Her picture books includeThe Best Worst Poet Ever, The Problem with Pajamas, and, most recently, I Am a GREAT Friend, which Kirkus Reviews called "a sweet combination of silly and tender."
