Author Sandy De Lisle: Only because she has serious concerns that her dogs Jazz, Rambo, and Fluff would not tolerate hens for friends, Sandy De Lisle lives chicken-less in a Chicago suburb with her husband Dave and their three sons Dustin, Aaron, and Grayson. As a former teacher, and now, a writer for the ASPCA, Sandy values the power of stories in creating a more humane world. Hens for Friends is her first picture book.
