A funny, cute celebration of the world's first pygmy hippo influencer, Moo Deng, for children ages 2-5.

Nicola Edwards was raised by the seaside in beautiful Brighton. She loves reading, dancing, rhyming, and turquoise things. She now lives with her husband and children in North London and spends her days writing and editing children's books. She has been nominated for the UKLA and Blue Peter Book awards and is a two-time Parenting Product Awards winner.

Joseph Moffat-Pena is a children’s book author and illustrator. Some of his early inspirations include Ed Emberly, Genndy Tartakovsky, and Dr. Seuss. While Joseph primarily works digitally, he also enjoys experimenting with various traditional drawing and painting methods. Aside from illustrating, Joseph enjoys exploring trails with his wife and two dogs (a dachshund and a mini Aussie), listening to and playing music, and going to the movies.
