About the Author-Illustrator
Anna Dewdney was a teacher, mother, and enthusiastic proponent of reading aloud to children. She continually honed her skills as an artist and writer and published her first Llama Llama book in 2005. Her passion for creating extended to home and garden and she lovingly restored an 18th century farmhouse in southern Vermont. She wrote, painted, gardened, and lived there with her partner, Reed, her two daughters, two wirehaired pointing griffons, and one bulldog. Anna passed away in 2016, but her spirit will live on in her books.

Little Excavator reminded me of Tonka trucks I used to play with at my friend’s house when I was little. I always thought big machinery was cool.
Would love to win for my young niece. Girls love big rigs, too!
