Lori Degman believes in dreaming big – just like Norbert! She followed her first dream of being a teacher of Deaf & Hard of Hearing kids; her second dream of being a wife and mother; and her third dream of becoming a published picture book author! She is the award-winning author of 1 Zany Zoo and Cock-a-Doodle Oops! Ms. Degman lives in a suburb of Chicago with her husband, two dogs and two grown sons (when they come back to visit).
