About the Author
Kate Gardner is the picture book author of Lovely Beasts, Snow Falls, and How to Find a Fox. During her nighttime walks with her dogs, she admires the brightly lit windows in her neighborhood and imagines the cozy spaces inside. That got her wondering about other types of places to live. . . . While Kate lives in a house outside of Boston, she thinks that a nest is probably best. Christopher Silas Neal is the illustrator of Over and Under the Snow and Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt, both written by Kate Messner, and is a regular contributor to the New York Times. He is also the author-illustrator of Everyone... Chris lives in Brooklyn, New York. Learn more about him online at www.csneal.com.

Reviews
"Whimsical and imaginative, this sweet story is a welcome addition to many collections." - School Library Journal "Although frequently whimsical, this book gently encourages young readers to develop curiosity about domestic experiences outside of idealized and conventional representations.... Subtly philosophical, quietly adventurous, and perfect for bedtime." - Kirkus Reviews "[With an] emphasis on seeking out new experiences, whether discovering strange visitors from the portal of a submarine or flying from a nest on the back of a bird[,]... Young ones will have fun finding the cat and the books on every page as they explore the world presented in the colorful mixed-media illustrations." - Booklist
