Casey W. Robinson grew up in Maine and used to keep a shoe box of favorite words and phrases under her bed. She now lives with her family just west of Boston, in a house overflowing with books. When she's not writing, Casey is managing book events for her local independent bookstore. Her debut picture book,
Iver & Ellsworth, was a Crystal Kite Award Finalist.
Nancy Whitesides is an author and self-taught illustrator born and raised in the Philippines and now based in California. Her picture book debut,
Grief Is an Elephant by Tamara Ellis Smith, will be published in 2023. When Nancy isn't creating, she loves taking bike rides (and balancing too many groceries on the handlebars).
