Pearlstein, Amanda: - "Amanda Pearlstein is a civil rights lawyer who wishes all of her writing could rhyme and come with cute illustrations. Since the legal system isn't ready for that, Amanda decided to branch out into writing children's books, where she never has to use words like whereupon and forthwith, and making her readers laugh is a good thing. Amanda lives in Washington, D.C. with her partner Wendy and their dog Toby. Amanda's next children's book, Tribeca - also a collaboration with her dad Howard - will be published in 2023."
