Nick Sharratt.
In Daisy's latest escapade she decides to become a spy, complete with drawn-on mustache disguise. She speaks in secret code ("The ostriches will be swimming in tomato sauce this evening") and ends up feeling lonely because no one understands her--until 0035 and a Half (a.k.a. Mom) saves the day. The geometric art couldn't be more kid-pleasing nor the book's resolution more reassuring.
