About Susan Hughes Books

Susan Hughes is a freelance editor, writer, story coach and the author of many books of fiction and nonfiction for kids and teens. Her books have received multiple nominations for awards, such as the Forest of Reading awards, the TD Children's Literature Awards, and the Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction. Susan lives in Toronto in a tall house with a red door. Tida Kheav is a Cambodian Canadian illustrator based in Montreal. She grew up in Windsor, Ontario, where she spent much of her childhood buried in books or filling sketchbooks with whimsical characters and dreamy worlds. Today, she brings those worlds to life through both digital and traditional art--and sometimes clay, ceramics or watercolors, too! With a background in social work, she believes in the power of visual storytelling to connect, heal and spark imagination. When she's not drawing, she's probably baking something sweet or dreaming up her next adventure.
