Claire Nivola grew up the daughter of two artists, on Long Island. She spent her summers exploring, writing stories and creating artwork- drawing and sculpting. After college she began illustrating picture books, along with creating murals. "Having spent many years reading, often more than once, the books I loved as a child to my own children, and discovering new ones, my appreciation for the best of children's literature has only grown. Writing for children is a serious business. Even if the result is to delight one's small readers, the words and images are destined to become a vivid and lasting part of a child's live experience."- Claire Nivola

Thacher Hurd splits his time between California and Vermont. He has written and illustrated over 25 picture books for children. (Mystery on the Docks, Mama Don't Allow, Art Dog, Moo Cow Kaboom, Sleepy Cadillac) Thacher and his wife Olivia founded Peaceable Kingdom Press, a publisher of cards and posters from children's books.
