Sloth and Squirrel in a Pickle (Relié)

Cathy Ballou Mealey has never picked a peck of pickles, but she has been a crossing guard, pet-sitter and professional gift-wrapper, among many other jobs. Her favorite pickle is a crisp, tangy bread-and-butter chip. She lives with her family north of Boston, Massachusetts, where she delights in watching silly squirrel antics and is waiting patiently for a sloth to appear. Kelly Collier has been drawing since she was little, and studied illustration in college.
She is the author-illustrator of two picture books, A Horse Named Steve and Team Steve, and the illustrator of the Izzy series. Kelly lives in Toronto, Ontario, with her husband and their dog.
