Author Information
B.D. Cottleston is the pretend name of a real writer who wants to leave it to the reader to enjoy these stories without worrying about what B.D. was thinking when they were written. As a life-long fan of Winnie the Pooh, B.D. picked this pen name to celebrate the spirit of Pooh's greatest rhyme. As Pooh might say: ""Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston pie. A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly. Ask who B.D. is and we'll reply: Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston pie."" Hazel Quintanilla has a passion for illustration. She has spent her life mastering a wide variety of media. She has worked on over twenty series in the US, England, and India. Hazel lives and works in Guatemala with her husband and their three cute dogs.
