Mary Had a Little Glam

Tammi Sauer is the author of several children's books, including Chicken Dance, Cowboy Camp and Your Alien. She has worked as a teacher and library media specialist. Vanessa Brantley Newton's passion for children's books began when she came across Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats as a child in the 1960s. Snowy Day marked one of the first representations of black children in picture books and seeing a character that looked like her and lived in a neighbourhood like her own was a turning point in Vanessa's life. She has since written and illustrated numerous children's books.
