Come Back, Hannah

Marisabina Russo's warm, distinctive picture books usually mirror everyday scenarios from her own family's life. The Big Brown Box was inspired by her three children's tendency to entertain themselves—and each other—with common household objects (which included many a cardboard box).

Ms. Russo has written and illustrated many picture books for children, and has illustrated several by other authors. She and her husband and children live in Westchester County, New York.

If you know someone who crawls, this is the book you've been waiting for. Hannah is on her way--and all Mama can do is call, "Come back, Hannah," and go after the speeding explorer. Parents and caretakers of Hannah's contemporaries will chuckle as they recognize their young adventurer. And every child who crawls will find Hannah's story filled with excitement and surprise and will happily sit still to listen to it.
