Megan McDonald is the author of the award-winning JUDY MOODY, JUDY MOODY GETS FAMOUS!, JUDY MOODY SAVES THE WORLD!, and JUDY MOODY PREDICTS THE FUTURE. Of the inspiration for this book, she says, "Just before writing JUDY MOODY, M.D., I met a class of third graders trying to clone their class pet — a guinea pig. Another class had a skeleton named George. Then imagine my surprise when I learned of medical school students who practice their stitches and perform 'operations' on zucchinis! I just knew Judy Moody had to be in a 'Judy Moody, First Girl Doctor' mood."

Peter H. Reynolds is the illustrator of all five Judy Moody books. Of this book, he says, "I realized that I have come to know Judy and her family and friends so well that the art poured from my pencil. JUDY MOODY, M.D. resonated with me deeply. Judy's vision of using her talents to heal others sends a valuable message. I am always excited to see people dreaming big about their futures — especially third graders!"
