Char­lotte Off­say was born in Eng­land, grew up in Boston, and now lives in Los Ange­les with her hus­band and two chil­dren. Through her work, Char­lotte hopes to make chil­dren laugh, to inspire curios­i­ty, and to cre­ate a mag­i­cal world her read­ers can lose them­selves in time and time again. She is the author of the pic­ture books A Grand­ma’s Mag­ic; Eight Sweet Nights, A Fes­ti­val of Lights; Chal­lah Day; and The Big Beach Cleanup.
