Alexandra Day, wiens echte naam Sandra Louise Woodward Darling is, is de veelgeprezen auteur van de geliefde Carl-boekenreeks. Haar illustraties en verhalen zijn doordrenkt van een oprecht geloof in het wonderbaarlijke, het soort magie dat net buiten onze gewone ervaring ligt. Day voelt een diepe verbinding met haar jonge lezers, en erkent een gedeelde overtuiging in het buitengewone. Haar werk vangt meesterlijk de betoverende band tussen dieren en kinderen, en viert de verwondering die in alledaagse momenten te vinden is.
