Debra Frasier writes and illustrates picture books and her efforts have won numerous awards. Her first book, On the Day You Were Born, has had a worldwide reception, and the accompanying video won the American Library Association's highest honor for a children's film, the Andrew Carnegie Medal. Miss Alaineus, A Vocabulary Disaster, won the IRA's Children and Teacher's Choice Awards and has inspired Vocabulary Parades from coast to coast. Her newest book, A Birthday Cake Is No Ordinary Cake, tells the story of our planet moving in a great spinning circle around the sun, all while collecting ingredients for a birthday cake!
