Suzanne Selfors
"Heart, humor, mystery and one great big lovable rat! Who could ask for more?" Barbara O'Connor, NYTimes best-selling author of WISH.
"In Ratty, Selfors cleverly tickles your funny bone and tugs brilliantly at every last heartstring." Donna Barba Higuera, Newberry winner.
"Selfors' whimsical romp weaves friendship, family lore, local history, and environmental stewardship into a light mystery. A modern fairty tale that never becomes cheesy, despite being packed with heart and cheddar." Booklist
"Shows that kindness and caring can change even the most fixed mindsets." Kirkus
"A mysterious and fantastical tale centered around unexpected heroes: rats. Ratty is a compassionate character who cares for others, including all types of animals, endearing him to the audience. The prose is skillfully crafted and the conclusion contains a heartwarming message." School Library Journal

Meet the Illustrator
For as long as she can remember, Lavanya Naidu wanted to illustrate for kids' books. She went to art school in India and Paris, where she studied animation. One of her first jobs was for Cartoon Network as an animator. She lives in Australia, the land of drop bears and yowies. Her favorite foods are broccoli and french fries. She is fascinated by dinosaurs and collects little dinosaur statues. And she loves dogs, which means she's a fabulous person!
Meet the Narrator
The audio version of RATTY is narrated by Vikas Adam. Vikas was an avid reader as a child and his family moved around a lot. Libraries were his safe place. Every time he'd move to a new school, the first thing he'd do was go to the library and ask if they needed a student helper. If he wasn't an audiobook narrator and actor, he may have been a librarian! Favorite food: a bowl of steaming mac and cheese, or scalloped potatoes! He loves cheese. Is that why he was such a great narrator for RATTY?
