Bonnie Grubman grew up with a love of reading. As a child, she lived in an apartment with her family, pet turtles, and a parakeet. On hot summer nights, she would cool off on the fire escape with a flashlight and a big stack of books. Bonnie went to nursing school, but later decided to trade her nurse's hat for a classroom full of picture books. She was inspired by her students who found joy and curiosity in everything they saw. Because of these kids, and for all kids, she became a writer. Bonnie lives in Syosset, New York. Judi Abbot was born and raised in Italy. She studied illustration at the art school in Milan. Now, she lives with her family in London. Judy usually works with acrylics, collage and color pencils, but she is also good with digital media. Next to her work as an illustrator, Judy organizes creative workshops for children in bookshops and in libraries."No one is brave all the time. What I loved in this book is that both characters had their time to be bold and courageous and anxious and apprehensive. They both managed their feelings and supported each other like good friends. They both left space for each other to be who they were and ask for what they needed.
This would be a great group read and an excellent addition to school, classroom, and personal libraries. The illustrations are fun and engaging and this story will be very relatable for young readers. There could be lots of great conversations about when we feel brave and when we feel scared." - BookWorks
"A cute story about 2 pigs that go out of their comfort zones. It shows how friends can support each other in scary times, and help each other do hard things." - Medicine hat public library
"This delightful picture book shows how two friends can be opposites, but still compliment each others. Adorable illustrations, a lesson in bravery/trust, and easy to follow text make this one a winner." - Delphos Public Library
