Susie Ghahremani is an award-winning illustrator and a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).  In addition to illustrating for diverse commercial clients from Target to The Washington Post, Susie designs and develops a whimsically illustrated stationery and gift brand Boygirlparty® consisting of more than 300 products, popular everywhere from independent boutiques and galleries to retailers such as ModCloth, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and Nordstrom.  Susie has been the recipient of awards and recognition by American Illustration, the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles, and Alt*Pick, and has been profiled in several publications including The New York Times. Susie is a member and featured illustrator of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and a former board member of The Illustration Conference (ICON).  Susie’s first picture book, What Will Hatch? (written by Jennifer Ward, Bloomsbury) was named a Bank Street Best Book of the Year. The companion book, What Will Grow?, will be published in 2017.  When not painting tiny paintings, illustrating children’s books, designing stationery and gifts, teaching at RISD, exhibiting her work internationally, shipping orders, or connecting with the illustration community, Susie lives in sunny San Diego with her husband and zillions of pets.

**STARRED REVIEW**"Counting from one to 10 is the usual math activity in simple picture books, but this one takes on other mathematical operations, too... Thanks to its gentle inconsistencies, this is a book that can expand children's thought processes."
