The Wheels on the Bus (Board Book)

Rebecca Colby started "writing" before she learned the alphabet, creating songs from her imagination and memorizing the lyrics. Then at age 12, she won an essay contest and received a plane trip as her prize. This fueled her dreams of becoming an author. When not writing, Rebecca loves to dance, walk and avoid housework. She lives in North Yorkshire in the UK with her two daughters, three snails and multiple bunnies -- dust bunnies, that is.

Lydia Nichols is a certifiably red-headed image-maker and storyteller. She believes that process -- even when messy, maddening, or crisis-inducing -- is as important as the final work. Inspired by printmaking, her work embraces limited palettes and bold, layered shapes. As a kid she declared her intent to become either a vet or a cartoonist. She is neither, but still considers working as an illustrator who gets to draw anthropomorphic animals a childhood dream come true.
