Ammi-Joan Paquette
Ammi-Joan Paquette lives with her family just outside of Boston. The Tiptoe Guide to Tracking Fairies was inspired by a real-life fairy hunt she took with her two daughters one spring day. Although they didn’t meet any fairies face to face, they saw signs of them everywhere. This is her first picture book.
