Emma Chichester Clark (www.emmachichesterclark.co.uk) chronicles the real-life adventures of Plum, her lovable “whoosell”—whippet, poodle, and Jack Russell cross—on her Plumdog Blog (emmachichesterclark.blogspot.com). Emma has written and illustrated numerous picture books, including Love Is My Favorite Thing and the Blue Kangaroo series. She grew up in the Irish countryside, where she began making books with sewn-up spines when she was five years old. She studied graphic design and later attended the Royal College of Art. She lives in West London, England, with her husband, three stepsons, and Plum.
