E. D. Baker made her international debut with The Frog Princess, which was a Book Sense Children's Pick and has been optioned for an animated movie.

A mother of three, Ms. Baker has had many interesting jobs -- teacher, parrot caretaker, member of the Red Cross Disaster Team -- but her true love is writing. She lives in Maryland, where she provides a home for three horses, two dogs, three cats, and a goat named Malcolm.
