More About the Author

Robin Segal (1965- ) was born in Montreal and grew up in a home full of books and drawings. She studied art and pursued a career in energy policy consulting before giving up talking to adults and reconciling herself to the fact that children are better people to write for and spend time with. She recognizes that the previous sentence of this bio is incorrect, but she does not care. The All 'Bout Cities series of alphabet books is Robin's effort to teach pride of place, and literacy, to the very young- and to anybody wishing to learn a second language.
