Author Information

Before becoming an author, Kristen N. Dobson was a kid-and although she's now a parent and grandparent, she's still a kid at heart. You might find her tucked into the children's section of her favorite Michigan library, smiling over the wisdom of her favorite philosophers, Calvin and Hobbes. After more than 30 years of teaching writing to high school students, Kristen finally began telling her own stories-sparked by the delightful adventures of her truly grand grandchildren. Her LollyBooks series celebrates the laughter, love, and little everyday moments that connect generations. Affectionately dubbed ""FeFe"" by her nieces, Sophie N. Osburn began her art career at the age of two when she colored her baby brother with a purple marker. Since then, she has continued creating art-from beautiful greeting cards to her wordless children's book, The Boy and His Tree. Her whimsical watercolor illustrations for the LollyBooks series reflect the joy that bubbles up in her heart whenever she spends time with her nieces.
