About the Author:
Carolyn Combs is a former molecular biologist who now shares her passion for the natural world with children through her writing. She still loves doing research, but now does it at the library, online, and by speaking with scientists rather than researching in a lab. She has fond memories from her childhood of camping beside a noisy beaver dam and of visiting a local petting farm and waiting for the peacock to fan out his tail. These memories, along with her curiosity about animal communication, helped inspire her to write this book—her first picture book. Carolyn lives in Michigan with her husband, son, poodle, cat, and guinea pig, who runs around her feet and oinks while she writes. Find her at carolyncombsbooks.com.
