About the authors and illustrator
Written by Jon Lasser and Sage Foster-Lasser, illustrated by Christopher Lyles. Lasser is a psychologist and a professor of school psychology, and the book comes from Magination Press, the children's imprint of the American Psychological Association — which is why the note to caregivers at the back is as practical as it is.
