It's often thought that rhyming picture book manuscripts are tough to sell because they can be difficult to translate for foreign markets. But this New Jersey author/illustrator has had great success with her rhyming stories about a South American mammal. Before she sold her first book in 2005 and went on to become a New York Times best-selling author, she worked as a rural mail carrier, a waitress, and a teacher at a boarding school for dyslexic boys.

Here series began with Llama Llama Red Pajama and continued with many llama books.
