關於作者:
Born in 1953, the youngest of three girls, Laura Numeroff grew
up in Brooklyn, New York, surrounded by art, music, and books. By
age nine, Laura started writing her own stories and drew pictures
to go with them -- she would even make a book cover for them and
write down the name of the publisher. She also spent a great deal
of time reading and took weekly trips to the public library --
which was about five blocks from her house. At that time, her
favorite possessions were her microscope, a box of sixty-four
crayons, and her library card.
At age fifteen, Laura decided to follow in her sister''s footsteps
and become a fashion designer. However, during her last semester in
college, Laura decided to take a class in writing and illustrating
books for children. She ended up graduating with a degree and a
publishing contract for her first book! She has been writing now
for 27 years and has written 16 books for children. Her
best-selling If You Give a ... series has received critical acclaim
and has become a favorite for children of all ages. She currently
lives in Los Angeles, California.
