Millie Florence

Millie Florence's earliest memories are of lying under the covers at night, long after her parents told her to go to sleep, whispering stories to herself. She published her first book, Honey Butter, at age 13 and hasn't stopped since. Millie lives in a picturesque blue house in the woods of southern Illinois. She loves adventure, good food, and just about all things yellow.

Astrid Sheckels cannot remember a time when she was not telling or illustrating stories, especially stories involving imaginary animals. Growing up in an artistic family, Astrid spent her childhood playing outside, using her imagination, and drawing. She is the author and illustrator of numerous books, including the award-winning Hector Fox and Friends picture book series. She lives in western Massachusetts.
