Alma Hammond came up with the idea for this book while on her honeymoon in Bora Bora. Every morning she would witness a cat and rooster playing together on the beach, an unlikely but fun friendship. She also observed many amazing sea creatures at close range. Alma Hammond lives with her husband Bob, two cats Violet and Daisy, and Dog Stazi in Bethesda, Maryland. This is Alma Hammond's first book. Hugh Keiser has been a professional artist working in a variety of mediums for over forty-five years.
