  • About the Author

    Deirdre Gill

    Deirdre Gill's debut book Outside (2014) was inspired by her own experiences of playing outside as a child. The outdoors is still a source of wonder and excitement for Deirdre — the place she goes to "see the possibilities" as well as to ski, hike, and bike with her family. She lives in snowy Vermont with her husband, Jason Chin, also a children's book author and artist, and their son. Visit her at Deirdregill.com.
