Ame Dyckman

Ame Dyckman writes funny-and-sweet children’s books when she SHOULD be sleeping. (Or cleaning. Or watching where she’s going.) Ame’s the author of the New York Times–bestselling Wolfie The Bunny; the Ezra Jack Keats New Author Award–winning Tea Party Rules; the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning Bat, Cat & Rat: Vacation; and 30+ more books—so far! Ame lives in beautiful central New Jersey with her husband, their daughter, and a yard full of wild critters—who Ame REALLY needs to stop trying to hug.

When Ame ISN’T writing or running towards (or away from) wildlife, you can find her in the library, down the shore, at the zoo—SERIOUSLY, NO HUGGING, AME!—or visiting a museum of just about ANYTHING, trying to learn just about EVERYTHING. (Which inevitably leads to… MORE BOOKS!)
