Hi Everybody!
How are you? I hope the answer is great and that you’re all gearing up for a colorful holiday season!
Speaking of colorful, a 3rd grader recently asked me who picks all the pretty colors on the covers of the Mallory books. First, I’m glad you like the colors of the covers. Second, what a great question and here’s your answer:
A lot of people including the author, the illustrator, and the editor get involved with selecting the colors of the covers, but the main person who helps make that choice is a fabulous and creative person, otherwise known as the art director.
The art director is in charge of making sure the Mallory books look their best, and taking extra special care of the cover is one of the most important parts of an art director’s job.
If you want to see what all of the Mallory books look like, just go to the website: www.mallorymcdonald.com
That’s all for now.
Talk to you soon!

Dear Laurie i’m upssesed with your books! Mallory is sooooooooooooo funny! After Campfire Mallory what will be your next book? How did you get the name Mallory and Maryann? Do you like being an author? Do you like visiting different schools? I am in third grade. I live in Miami, FL. I hope you don’t think I asked to many questions, alot of people think that I am a chatter box. Good luck with your books!
