About the Book: Toting an assortment of brushes and buckets full of colorful paint, Pinky Porcupine sets off to brighten up the town. Peeking behind each freshly painted door she discovers a diverse world of animal friends engaged in entertaining antics. An adventure of colors, counting and more ensues, along with a multilingual introduction to the numbers one through ten.

Susan has a B.A. from Simmons College and a certificate in Children’s Book Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design. Susan is represented by Anna Olswanger of Olswanger Literary.
