Short biography: [from author's website]
I'm an award-winning children's book author and illustrator from Edinburgh. I love making up stories, print-making and cutting and sticking. My favourite things to draw are eyebrows.

I have an MA in Children's Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art and a BA in Costume Design from Wimbledon College of Art. I used to work in theatre, but now spend my days in my Edinburgh studio with views of the hills.

And I love ducks.

Brenda is a Sheep by Morag Hood

Savvy readers will quickly notice that while the text claims that Brenda is a sheep, Brenda looks awfully like a wolf (in sheep's clothing). Brenda does her best to act like a sheep, all while preparing to eat her sheep friends with her special mint sauce. But counting sheep causes Brenda to fall asleep, and while she Zzzzs, the sheep plan a surprise feast for her: everything on their menu is made of grass! All topped with Brenda's special sauce.

A very fun spin on the "wolf in sheep's clothing" story.
