Ryan T. Higgins (ryanthiggins.com) is an author and illustrator who likes the outdoors and cheese sandwiches. He is NOT a grumpy old black bear, but he DOES like making books about one-starting with the
New York Times best-selling
Mother Bruce, which received the E. B. White Read-Aloud Award and the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Honor. He also wrote and illustrated
Hotel Bruce,
BE QUIET!,
Bruce's Big Move, and
We Don't Eat Our Classmates. Ryan lives in Maine with his wife and kids . . . and too many pets.
