Kim Howard

Kim Howard has been writing books since before she could spell. Her favorite childhood memories involve imagination and creativity, and like Grace, she grew up making homes and tunnels out of boxes. She loves stories, coffee, and spending time with her family. A former teacher, Kim lives in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband and children. Grace and Box is her debut picture book.

Megan Lötter is a picture book maker living in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. She has illustrated Kirsty Paxton's The Chalk Giraffe and Kim Howard's Grace and Box. Megan graduated from Cape Peninsula University of Technology in 2008 with a Degree in Design. Her love for drawing and visual storytelling started at a very young age. This naturally drew her towards the fascinating world of illustration. South Africa's cultural diversity, twelve different languages, beautiful animals, patterns, and colors are underlying themes found throughout Megan's illustrations and characters.
