"I rarely rate books ten out of ten, but this one takes the cake." —BookIdeas.com

I wrote this book after registering for a picture book workshop offered by The Highlights Foundation. We were told to arrive with a completed picture book draft — which would be critiqued by the instructors and our fellow students. So, early one morning, as the workshop loomed close, I told myself that I couldn’t get out of bed until I came up with my book idea. As my brain rattled around, jumping from thought to thought, I eventually found myself wondering why the tooth fairy is always portrayed as this dainty, magical creature — complete with wings, wand, and flouncing skirts. To my mind, what has kept the tooth fairy going all these years is the thrill of the hunt. I bet she's as addicted to nabbing baby teeth as I am to dark chocolate! I see her as very James Bondish — with quite the attitude!
