Emily Alice Eliza O'Shea

Emily Alice Eliza O'Shea regrets to inform you- she's sorry to say- that she'll not be joining the play today!

Why not? Well, she has her fancy clothes on, so she can be the Queen of the Playground. But that, of course, has some drawbacks in this uniquely illustrated children's picture book.

Pam Adams Katz is an artist living in New Hampshire.
