About the Author: Dominic Villari is well versed in the art and science of making stuff up and is often caught talking to things, especially when they don’t work right or are difficult to put together. These pursuits occasionally spill out onto paper in illustrated children’s books such as Sun and Moon, Bear is Hangry and The Yelling Monsters and fiction books such as The Wandering Princess and Talks to Things. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and daughter, both of whom have gotten better about knowing when he’s making stuff up.
