About the Author

New author Amber Lily added her charming, child-friendly voice to the world of children's publishing during an internship. Amber loves onomatopoeia, has an ear for rhyme and freely admits to sniffing the occasional book! Based in the coastal city of The Hague, Netherlands, Maaike Boot started drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil. Most of Maaike's drawings begin with a Sharpie or brushes and India ink, with the black and white renderings transformed through Adobe Illustrator. Today her work is mainly seen on handmade products from laptop sleeves to baby shoes to swimwear, not to mention in children's books.
