Victoria Allenby has been writing poetry and stories for as long as she can remember. Her debut picture book, Nat the Cat Can Sleep Like That, won the 2014 Preschool Reads Award and is nominated for the 2015 SYRCA Shining Willow Award. The National Reading Campaign said, "Parents and teachers will love Allenby's word play. Her use of repetition and alliteration is calming and her steady cadence is mesmerizing." A freelance writer and editor, Victoria lives in Toronto, Ontario.
