Amber Stewart

Biography

Amber Stewart works as a book editor in London. She is the author of Rabbit Ears, How Many Sleeps?, and most recently I'm Big Enough. Although Bean the bunny rabbit is getting bigger everyday, she is sure that she will never, ever be too big for her blanket. "When my daughter was little," states Stewart, "she had a cloth that she wouldn't go anywhere without; it got to the point that I thought she would never give it up. I can't quite remember how and why she let it go, but I guess it was gradual. When I was cleaning her room a couple of years ago, I found Cloth hidden in a box under her bed - which I thought was so sweet. I used this idea for the basis of the story, although it really is about burgeoning independence."

Stewart envisions more books about Bean, and she is also working on a children's novel. When not immersed in editing or writing, she leads an active lifestyle. She loves riding her three horses, walking her dog Jake and can also be found running or in the gym. She currently lives with her family in London.

Bedtime for Button

by Amber Stewart

Daddy said, "Should I give you something nice to think about before you go to sleep? Nice thoughts always keep the bad ones away." "Yes, please" Button nodded, feeling much braver about the scary tree-bear. "Well," wondered Daddy, "Should I tell you about a day when there were no scary things? A day so happy that if you think of it tonight, only sweet dreams will come."
