THE CREEPY CREATORS

After publication of her first picture book, Hop! Plop!, Corey Rosen Schwartz longed to write a fractured fairy tale. But coming up with a clever twist wasn’t easy. Then one day, when her son was three, someone asked if he spoke Spanish. His answer was “No, but I speak a little karate.” Instantly, the idea hit her – the three little pigs could go to ninja school! KIYA! Corey has no true Ninja training, but she can sure kick butt in Scrabble. She lives with three Knuckleheads in Warren, New Jersey.
