Sheree Fitch's first two books, Toes in My Nose (1987) and Sleeping Dragons All Around (1989), launched her career as a poet, rhymster, and a "kind of Canadian female Dr. Seuss." Fitch has won almost every major award for Canadian children's literature since then, including the 2000 Vicky Metcalf Award for a Body of Work Inspirational to Canadian Children. She has over twenty-five books to her credit, including her bestselling and critically praised adult novel, Kiss the Joy As It Flies (2008). Fitch's home base is the East Coast of Canada.

"Fitch's lyrical prose is enhanced by the very beautiful
illustrations of Emma FitzGerald. The illustrations are done in
bold and bright colors, and are very rich in detail which provides
a superb backdrop for this poem about individual differences."
--Canadian Materials Magazine (Winnipeg, MB)
"With a style reminiscent of Quentin Blake, FitzGerald's
illustrations of people letting their freak flag fly complement
Fitch's exuberant, playful, and poignant rhymes." --Quill & Quire
(Toronto, ON)
