But after some time living with the Table, she begins to notice how cold the kitchen floor is on a brisk winter's day, how many nicks and scratches the Table has endured, and how hard it is to stand on all four legs for so many hours, and she comes to realize compassion will get her further than cleverness. This charming and hilarious picture book is about empathy and trying to find common ground with the people--or furniture--around you.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelinda Beatty\u003c\/b\u003e has had years of practice trying to explain to others why she was just having an imaginary conversation between two people that don't exist, so becoming a writer seemed like the best way to stop everyone from looking at her funny. After years of narrowboat living on the English canals, she and her British husband are now back on dry land in Maryland, where by day, she's a mild-mannered indie bookseller, and by night, she wrangles words, crafts projects, and raises a Labrador and two fierce mini-women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStefano Tambellini\u003c\/b\u003e was born in a small town in Tuscany, Italy. He studied hand-drawn animation in Torino, then moved to London for six years where he started working as a freelance illustrator for animated productions and publishing. In 2005 he co-founded the indie studio SenzaTesta, as he's also a stop-motion puppet maker and filmmaker. His best confidant is a gray cat called Mandragola, and his drawing table may not have feet, but it howls at the moon.
