Anita Jeram is the award-winning author-illustrator of I Love My Little Storybook. She also illustrated Kiss Good Night and other books by Amy Hest, Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney, and many other picture books. Recently, her son asked her which one of the children in their family was the best - himself, his brother, or his sister. She explained they were all equal in her eyes, and he came back with another question: "Okay, then, who's the cleanest?" Anita Jeram says, "There's always one in every family." She lives in Northern Ireland.
