As well as being author and illustrator of this children's book, James Nathaniel Holland is primarily an American classical music composer of operas, symphonies, ballets, songs, and other musical concertworks that incorporate a unique blend of romantic, classical, world and jazz styles. He has written other works for children, including "The Haiti Song" for children's choir and the ballet, "The Wind in Willows" adapted from the beloved novel of the same name. The songs from the novel are set to music and available in Songbook form for easy piano and voice. Originally from Indiana, Mr. Holland has led an eclectic and adventurous life; ranging from studying music in Vienna, Austria to living and performing in Los Angeles and New York, not to mention serving some US Peace Corps time in Haiti. He moved to Costa Rica in 2005, and lives in a castle, "La Corona de los Santos," with the real "Roy" in the mountain town of Santa Cruz de León Cortés where you can pay a visit and say, 'hello." Other Costa Rican books he has written include "Costa Rican Recipe Cookbook", "Legends of Castle La Corona de los Santos and the Los Santos Valley", and "How I did it! A Memoir of My Journey to Live in Costa Rica."
