Her stack-a of published children's books is over fifty titles high and includes picture books like \u003ci\u003eChicks Rule\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRoxie Loves Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as chapter book series like Purrmaids and Mermicorns. She lives in New Jersey with her husband, three children, and an adorable pug named Roxie (who does happen to love adventure). Just as alpacas are the smallest member of the camel family, Bardhan-Quallen is the smallest member of her human family. \u003cb\u003eLeeza Hernandez\u003c\/b\u003e adores alpacas because they're just like cats: curious, treat-loving, and cuddly. She nearly adopted one, but with a tiny apartment, frequent farm visits to snuggle and sketch seemed like a better option. With more than 25 illustrated books in her backpack-a, including \u003ci\u003eRoxie Loves Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e, Hernandez currently lives in Central Florida where alligators outnumber alpacas. She's not sure how cuddly gators are but she sketches them a lot and they always smile . . . so they must be friendly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 17, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52665339576627,"sku":"9781419773907","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Sabns8E1uu9781419773907.webp?v=1762750252","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/alpaca-goes-back-a-to-school-a-picture-book-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
