About The Author

Leslie Patricelli made her board-book debut with the winsome Big Little, Quiet Loud and Yummy Yucky. Blankie and its companion book Binky make up what the author calls her attachment series. Blankie, she says, was created as an ode to that beloved item. I wrote it when my son was nearing three, and the narrative voice of the baby reflects that of my son at this age.
