About the Author

Alina Niemi is the author and illustrator of several books for kids, including the Let's Count Series, The Hawaii Doodle Book: A Fun Doodling and Coloring Book for You to Finish, and Lizard Lunch and Other Funny Animal Poems for Kids: With Animal Facts, Puzzles, and Fun Activities. She knows learning can and should be fun, and that when kids get excited about reading, it sets them up to be lifelong learners who are more successful in life. Her books help children to learn and have fun at the same time. But kids' books aren't her only passion. She is also the author of The New Scoop: Recipes for Dairy-Free, Vegan Ice Cream in Unusual Flavors (Plus Some Old Favorites). When she is not eating ice cream, yogurt, sherbet, or sorbet, she is busy developing more recipes for future cookbooks.
