Lucy Ruth Cummins is an author, illustrator, and art director of children's books. She was happily paired with Jean Reidy for both Truman, which was named a New York Times Best Children's Book of 2019, and Sylvie. She is also the author-illustrator of Stumpkin, Vampenguin, Dalmartian: A Mars Rover's Story, Our Pool, and A Hungry Lion, or A Dwindling Assortment of Animals. Lucy has swum in creeks, streams, gorges, rivers, swimming holes, pools (above- and in-ground), lakes (both Great and Finger), decorative fountains, and oceans. Her very favorite place to swim, however, is at her community pool in Brooklyn with her sons and her neighbors.

Reviews

"Appealing illustrations combine with a timely message that one kind act can start a chain reaction of kindness...A sweet and far-from-cloying ode to love." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Demonstrate[s] how seemingly immutable personalities can be transformed by the power of love." -- Publishers Weekly

"An unconventional but effective look at how to recognize and express love." -- Booklist

"Denise's sweet text pairs with Cummins's dreamy and cozy illustrations about the transformative power of love and feelings of affirmation. A tender addition for most collections." -- School Library Journal
