"Davis' colorful art makes Stinky and his swamp delightfully attractive to young readers."--Booklist

About the Author
Eleanor Davis grew up in Tucson, Arizona. Instead of going out in the hot sun to play and make friends, she stayed alone in her room, drawing. She started working on Stinky, her first published children's book, while still a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Now, only 25 years old, she's widely praised as one of the coolest artists on the new comics scene. She lives in Athens, Georgia, with her boyfriend (who is also a cartoonist) and three cats (who are not).
