About the Author

Author and illustrator Catherine Rayner grew up in the country in West Yorkshire. She has drawn animals ever since she could hold a pencil and her first pictures usually featured their family dog; a miniature dachshund named Wilfred. Catherine's love of drawing never faded and after school she moved to Scotland to study Illustration at Edinburgh College of Art. She fell in love with the city and still lives there with her husband, two young sons, and a handful of creatures including Shannon the horse, Ena the gray cat, and a guinea pig.

    My niece and her husband had a beautiful baby girl! They named her Abigail and I looked on line for a book with her name. Abigail was a perfect book that they will read to her and she will read! Fantastic pictures and story line! Her parents had purchased a picture of a giraffe in Australia that looks very much like Abigail the giraffe. Her book Abigail sits on a shelf in her nursery and they read it to her daily!! Special book for a special girl!!
