About the Author

Jess Hannigan is the author and illustrator of picture books, including Spider in the Well and The Bear Out There. She also works in editorial art, amongst other things, and considers herself an all-purpose illustrator. Some say she has the heart of a designer and the sensibility of a professional clown.

About The Cow in the Dark at Night

A curious cow sets herself loose upon the sleeping world, ready to explore all the nighttime has to offer. Covertly joined by a protective and dubious barn cat, our cow cheerfully (and cluelessly) encounters a cast of somewhat unsavory nocturnal characters during her travels. She must return to the barn before dawn, but, due to an intergalactic turn of events, she and her fuzzy companion are soon faced with a much bigger, unexpected adventure.
