The illustrations and story capture a lively spirit, but I wonder what inspired Phoebe Gilman to depict her this way. Was it based on a real child or just pure imagination?

The story brought back memories of childhood mischief and self-expression. Did this book remind others of their own childhood adventures?

The whimsical drawings seem to almost have a personality of their own. I’m curious how much thought went into the visual design to complement the text.
