Melissa Sweet is een auteur wiens werk wordt gekenmerkt door fantasierijke aquarelverf, vaak verrijkt met collagekunst. Ze heeft een onderscheidende aanpak, waarbij ze gevonden voorwerpen en details integreert die het verhaal verrijken. Haar creaties voor kinderen zijn diep geïnspireerd door haar dagelijks leven en haar scherpe observatie van de wereld, wat het sentiment van de dichteres Mary Oliver belichaamt: "Aandacht schenken, dat is ons eindeloze en juiste werk."
