Hutchins, Dawn

Dawn Hutchins lives in Florida with her husband, Chris, and her daughter, "Agnes." She is a writer and recipe developer. Dawn created the blog Florida Coastal Cooking in 2009 when she discovered her entrepreneurial spirit. The inspiration for this book was her "Nana," whose bedtime story of Agnes and the Martian is one of Dawn's most treasured memories. She is so happy to pass this on to her daughter to create a connection between Agnes and her late great-grandmother, whom Agnes never got to meet. The illustrations are real photos, and Agnes painted much of the Martian and spaceship graphics.
