More About the Author

Emma Quay (pronounced 'kway') grew up in England, and has wanted to illustrate children's books for as long as she can remember. Since moving to Sydney in 1993, Emma has illustrated a wide range of award-winning children's picture books. Her memorable characters for "Bear and Chook", "Good Night, Me", "Reggie and Lu", "Daddy's Having a Horse" and "Cheeky Monkey" are favourites on many children's and library bookshelves. Emma is the author of the popular series of titles for very young children, "Friends for Keeps" ("Freinds are Forever" in the UK; "Hello, Friends" in the U.S.), illustrated by Anna Walker, and her much-anticipated recent collaboration with author Lisa Shanahan, "Bear and Chook by the Sea", is short listed for this year's CBCA Book of the Year Awards.

A new picture book, "Shrieking Violet", which Emma both wrote and illustrated, is due for release in August 2010.

5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite baby gift!, March 13, 2008

This review is from: Goodnight, Me (Hardcover)

I came across this book in the "new books" section at our public library and decided to check it out. This book is more for pre-school aged kids but the illustrations are amazing! DS who is a 7 yr. old "macho-boy" asked me to renew it three times! I've decided that this is going to be my no-fail "new baby" gift :)

This review is from: Goodnight, Me (Hardcover)

Brilliant. It's my little boys favorite bedtime book. We read it
every night, and as much as I would like to try something else as the last
book before bed, I don't want to upset the rhythm this book has
created.

It's my children's favorite bedtime book...It's cute, it's funny, and brilliantly illustrated. Isn't it funny how the best books are the ones you wish you'd written youreself? Well, this is one of those books.
