About the author
Dee Day is known for books including Getting to Know Spain and the Ivor the Imp series. Available sources show an author whose work reaches across nonfiction and children's fantasy, pairing cultural exploration with light, imaginative storytelling.
For Getting to Know Spain, biographical notes say she studied Spanish intensively and then traveled in Spain to help shape the book. That background helps explain the book's welcoming, informative tone for younger readers and its interest in everyday life, traditions, and place.
More recent author pages for the Ivor the Imp books describe a creative revival that began during the coronavirus pandemic, when Day started developing stories and artwork inspired by walks and by imagining what might live just beyond everyday sight. Taken together, these sources suggest an author drawn both to discovery and to wonder.
