Wendi Silvano was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has lived in Oregon, Colorado, and Peru. She has a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and taught preschool and elementary school for eleven years. She now writes from her home in Colorado, where she lives with her husband, five kids, and an assortment of crazy pets that she’s pretty sure Farmer Jake wouldn’t eat for Thanksgiving. In her free time she enjoys reading, hiking, and playing the piano.Lee Harper is a painter and illustrator living in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, with his wife and family. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Lee teaches painting workshops to children from kindergarten through third grade as an Artist in Residence for the Council Rock School District in Bucks County. Turkey Trouble is Lee’s second picture book. He also illustrated Woolbur by Leslie Helakoski. When not working in his studio, Lee can often be found visiting area farms, taking pictures and looking very carefully to see if just maybe some of the animals might be in disguise.

“Stuffed with clever wordplay, groanable puns, and easy-to-ham-it-up animal sounds, the chuckle-inducing narrative makes a crowd-pleasing read-aloud. Turkey’s getups are exuberantly silly and the animals’ sardonic facial expressions are sublime.” —School Library Journal“Kids will eat this up this clever and comical tale.” —Booklist“This book is as silly as Denys Cazet’s offerings about Minnie and Moo and just as funny. Harper’s comical watercolor illustrations pair naturally with Silvano’s clever, filled-with-wordplay text. A first choice for holiday collections.” —Publishers Weekly
