Author Bio
Anna Grossnickle Hines has written or illustrated more than 50 books for children. My Grandma Is Coming to Town was influenced by her own family. When her first grandson was born, he lived very far away, and she couldn't see him very often. She taught him pat-a-cake on a visit, and he associated her with the game afterwards. Then, while reading one of her books about a grandmother to a group of children, one child mentioned that her grandmother lived far away, and another said, My grandpa flies on a big airplane. And that was the beginning of this story! Meslissa Sweet lives in Maine with her family and her dog, Rufus, who sometimes gives her nose kisses. She is the illustrator of numerous books for children, including On Christmas Day in the Morning and Girls Think of Everything by Catherine Thimmesh. About this book she says, When I was little, I was very shy when company came over, so I completely understood Jacob's dilemma. I had a favorite stuffed sheep I probably hid behind, and luckily Jacob has Nosey.
