That yellow is a banana. No, a banana is yellow. These purples are grapes. No, these grapes are purple! This orange is a pumpkin. No, that pumpkin is orange! And this orange is . . . orange?

John Himmelman is a naturalist, a martial arts instructor, and the award-winning author-illustrator of nearly 90 books for young readers, including the Bunjitsu Bunny series praised by School Library Journal as "Delightful . . . reminiscent of Arnold Lobel's 'Frog and Toad' stories or Jon Muth's ever-popular Zen Shorts." What his books have in common is his desire to share what makes him laugh, what gives him hope, and what he wants to learn more about. Himmelman lives in Killingworth, Connecticut, with his wife, Betsy, and their menagerie of dogs, cats, and chickens.
