Author Jean Reidy's been told that a naughty little kid lurks somewhere inside her - and she takes that as a high compliment. She writes from her home in Greenwood Village, Colorado where she lives with her husband, Mike. She has four children and hoards of nieces and nephews who provide her endless inspiration. Too Purpley! is her first picture book. Please visit her at www.jeanreidy.com.
Geneviève Leloup studied graphic arts, animation and printing in Belgium where she was born. Her whimsical illustrations have highlighted editorial articles, paper products, ads, packaging, children's furniture and textiles including lots of children's clothes! She loved working on her first book. When not drawing, she travels as far as possible, bakes large amounts of cookies and plays accordion in her Brooklyn digs.
