ABOUT THE BOOK

Bubble gum, bubble gum, sure is fun to chew it. But things start to go wrong when that sweet, sweet sugary goodness starts to fade away and a sticky, stucky, chewy, ooey, gooey glob is all that’s left. From first taste, experience this silly, chewy, gluey rhyming book with plenty of surprises along the way.

Author Milly Strawn had a twenty-two year career in computer programming. Following her retirement, she worked part-time as a reference librarian in the Milwaukee area. Since then she has pursued her interest in crafting stories for young children. Bubble Gum is her debut picture book. When she is not writing, she spends time enjoying outside activities, traveling, and spending time with her six grandchildren, who are the inspiration for her stories.

Illustrator Brigid Malloy is a Milwaukee-based children’s book illustrator with over five years of professional experience. She has illustrated more than twenty children’s books and created artwork for children’s magazines, with a focus on warm, story-driven illustrations. Brigid draws inspiration from illustrators she grew up with such as Beatrix Potter, Richard Scarry, and Eric Carle. Outside of illustration, she enjoys anime, coffee, crafting, and spending time with her fluffy cat, Pippin.
