Sophie's Squash

PAT ZIETLOW MILLER is a children’s book lover and the creative force behind the blog Read, Write, Repeat, where she reviews books for young readers. Sophie’s Squash, her first picture book, is based on a true story—her own daughter, Sonia, once loved a squash. Her second picture book, Sharing the Bread: An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving Story, will also be published by Schwartz & Wade Books.

Anne also illustrated its sequel Sophie’s Squash Go to School, as well as Peggy Archer’s A Hippy-Hoppy Toad, Susan McElroy Montanari’s My Dog’s a Chicken, Elizabeth Bluemle’s Dogs on the Bed, and Eileen Spinelli’s The Best Story.
