About the Author

LAURA MCGEE KVASNOSKY has written and illustrated many books for young readers, including FRANK AND IZZY SET SAIL, as well as the other books about the fabulous fox sisters: ZELDA AND IVY, ZELDA AND IVY AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR, and ZELDA AND IVY ONE CHRISTMAS.

These days our destinations might be more exotic -- like Provence in spring -- but the excitement of those early expeditions is hard to match."
