Sonny Dean is the author and illustrator of The Yellow Square of Stonewall, Iris and the Virus, One Equals Many, and Jean and the Vaccine. She lives in Maine in a cozy cottage by the sea, surrounded by a forest filled with an astonishing assortment of interesting creatures. She fled a successful career in corporate marketing to tell the stories that she would have liked to have read as a child. When she is not writing or drawing (or daydreaming), she can be found enjoying nature with her family, exploring museums, or curled up on her window seat with a towering heap of good books.
