 About the Creators

Sam McBratney
Sam McBratney is the author of Guess How Much I Love You and
You’re All My Favorites, illustrated by Anita Jeram, There, There and
Just You and Me, illustrated by Ivan Bates, and many other books for
children. He lives in Northern Ireland.

When I wrote Guess How Much I Love You twenty-five years ago, I never dared to imagine that
those who were children then would be reading it to children of their own someday. No one foresaw
the possibility that a story about two hares in a field might sell tens of millions of copies in almost
sixty languages. For me, the writing of Guess began a wonderful journey—a literal journey, for I
have so many memories of touring in America, Europe, and China, among other places.
And now there is another story about the hares. I hope that parents and caregivers and children
will enjoy reading about how Little Nutbrown Hare goes exploring on his own and, up on Cloudy
Mountain, finds . . . a friend.
