Sophie's Animal Parade

Everything Sophie draws becomes real, so when she feels lonely she begins drawing animals that come to life, but she still has no one to play with until a boy appears, all on his own.

Amy Dixon grew up as one of seven siblings, and the only peace and quiet she ever got was inside a book. Once she had her own kids, she rediscovered her love for picture books at the public library. It was the one place she knew all four of her kids would be happy . . . and quiet. She is the author of Marathon Mouse. She writes from her home, where she lives with her four little inspirations and her marathon-running husband in Clovis, California. Katia Wish is a children’s book illustrator.
