About the author
Suzanne Slade is the author of over 50 books for children. She has written biographies and books on topics such as planets, atoms, backyard bugs, elements, cycles in nature, and outdoor adventures. Animals are Sleeping helps feed a young child's curiosity and fascination about different animals and it provides parents with a fun, educational, and enjoyable book that children will enjoy as part of their bedtime routine. Suzanne was inspired to write this book during a Thanksgiving weekend drive past Amish farms. Her daughter pointed to a horse and announced, “You know, they sleep standing up!” Suzanne researched animal sleep behaviors and expanded the text to include the places, positions, and duration that animals sleep. During an earlier engineering career, she worked on Delta rockets and designed automotive braking systems. Suzanne lives and writes outside Chicago with her husband, two children, and six-pound dog named Corduroy (who usually sleeps lying down on his round, puffy bed near a heating vent).
