A graduate of Valdosta State University, she has been illustrating children's picture books since 2013. She thrives on fresh air, rustling leaves, and golden sunshine on the treetops in the beautiful Georgia countryside where she resides. The antics of her husband and two boys are a perpetual source of inspiration for her illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/4706\/4624\/files\/FC-151.pdf?2755\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eIMPRINT: Canonball Books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAUTHOR: Hannah Spuler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eILLUSTRATOR: Maegan Penley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAGE COUNT: 32\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 8.5x8.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN-10: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1-95-790540-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN-13: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-957905402\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBINDING: Hardback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePUB.
