About the Annikin Series: Annikins are mini books made especially for children—small enough to fit into tiny hands and pockets. Each book measures 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and contains full colour pages.

Kathy Stinson is the author of children's classics Red is Best, and Big or Little?, and recent multi-award winners like The Man with the Violin, and Harry and Walter. She lives in Rockwood, Ontario.

Robin Baird Lewis Now with decades of experience living and working in the collective arts -- privately, publicly, institutionally, commercially, and entrepreneurially -- Robin appreciates even more the gifts and instincts that guided her illustrations and overall design for Red is Best. A new era of involvement in community arts, music, theater, dance, and literacy projects keeps Robin's home studio busy year-round.
