Bardhan-Quallen, Sudipta

Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen considers herself an expert on cats and hats, though only one of those looks good on her head (and it’s not the one you think).

She’s written over ninety books for children, including CATS IN CONDUCTOR HATS, HAPPYBARAS, ROXIE LOVES ADVENTURE, and the PURRMAIDS and SQUISHY SCHOOL chapter book series.

She lives in New Jersey with her husband, three children, and two adorable pugs named Roxie (the one who loves adventure!) and Clementine.
