Suzanne "Sumi Fyhrie" Parrott was first published at the age of fourteen: a poem entitled "Snow." Since graduating the University of Washington in 1981, she's applied her artistic talents working for clients including Yellowstone Park and Winston Fly Rod Company. She finally put pen to paper to write and illustrate her first children's books 'Pandas on Parade' as well as writing 'Billy Beetle Bug and his Beetle Bug Board' (illustrated by Zoya Kruse-Wu). Since then she's published several books from middle grade sci-fi to professional 'how to self-publish' guides. 'Where is Bear?' is her third children's book and part of the Simpletown Tales series.
