When Emily Was Small

LAUREN SOLOY has lived on both coasts of Canada, always within reach of the sea. She currently lives in Nova Scotia, in a house that is exactly 100 years older than she is, with her librarian husband, two curious children, an ever-expanding collection of books, two hives of bees and one grumpy cat. She is the author and illustrator of When Emily Was Small, Etty Darwin and the Four Pebble Problem, Tove and the Island with No Address, The Hidden World of Gnomes and The Newest Gnome, as well as the illustrator of I’s the B’y: The Beloved Newfoundland Folk Song and A Tulip in Winter.
