Zoey lives in Portland, OR. She loves her dog, Carrots, and her family too. She also loves writing books for kids and for herself. For Zoey making stories is an indulgence, a spiritual practice and a way to sort out things that make no sense. Zoey is the author of four books, one of which (Pig and Horse and the Something Scary) was recently named a finalist for an Oregon Book Award and is also a Powell's Books Bestseller. Zoey's work is consistently described as "weird" and she takes this as a compliment.
Zoey has had the pleasure of collaborating with these publishers:
Tundra Books
Kids Can Press
Abrams Books for Young Readers
Holiday House Books
Chronicle Books
Enchanted Lion Books
Harper Collins Books
