About the Author
Mylo Freeman was born in The Hague, Holland from Dutch/American parents. She attended artschool for about five years (painting) and after that she moved to New York. Lived and worked there for a couple of years and was part of a group exhibition at The Drawing Center Gallery in New York. But eventually homesickness brought her back to Amsterdam. Around this time she started her musical career, which resulted in a CD. However, the stage did not prove to be artistically satisfying, so she returned to the visual Arts. This time Mylo started working for magazines and commercial advertising. After the birth of her son David (1994) she started to make drawings for children and he became the big inspiration for all the books to come. First published book was Potty! in 1997. It in turn inspired David to give up his diapers and use the potty! This book also won her the Kiekebookprize in 1998, a prize given out by Dutch national libraries for best toddler book of the year. At the moment Mylo lives in Amsterdam with her husband and three children.

"Here's a small smattering of some of the true beauties I've run across this year. There are two Zaza books out this year (the other is called Celebrate with Zaza), and they're both great." - Elizabeth Bird, Fuse Eight, SLJ.com "A perfect story to read on a birthday, or any day!" - Black Children's Books and Authors "I could see my kids making instant connections with Zaza and Rosie ... with how they played together. This book is about how a young child can pretend play with her toys. How they set up a party and pretend to share, to give, to celebrate - all of which encouraging imagination use versus being entertained by something or someone else. Due to the easy language and storyline this book would be perfect if you were in need of a book for Text-to-Self activities - I think a high number of children do this type of play at some point....Another positive is that because of the simple nature of this book it would be especially beneficial to ESL/ELL students in a preschool or childcare setting." - Miss Jenny's Classroom blog "Young readers will relate easily to the story and how much fun it is to throw a party for their good friends". - Kiss the Book, librarian blog
