About the Author
Gianna Marino was born in San Francisco and spent her early years galloping horses through Golden Gate Park. Her explorations expanded to some of the farthest places she could find, including Ethiopia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Bhutan, and many small villages in faraway mountains. When not wandering the great OUTSIDE, Gianna writes and illustrates full-time from her home in Colorado, where prairie dogs peek from their burrows. Gianna has written and illustrated many highly acclaimed picture books, including Night Animals, Too Tall Houses, and Don't Let Them Disappear by Chelsea Clinton.

Reviews
Praise for The Outside "Marino's gouache and ink compositions capture the beauty of a sunrise and the drama of the storm . . . Children will be charmed by the furry friendships and fascinated by the visual details." --Kirkus Reviews "Speech balloon text kicks up the pacing throughout, while cross-sections of the burrow system reveal both the animals' underground lives and how Earl perceives the outdoors from below--as small, constricted areas of light in the midst of velvety blackness. [A] sweet-tempered outing that illuminates a supportive system leading to individual change." --Publishers Weekly
