Bonnie Grubman grew up with a love of reading. As a child, she lived in an apartment with her family, pet turtles, and a parakeet. On hot summer nights, she would cool off on the fire escape with a flashlight and a big stack of books. Bonnie went to nursing school, but later decided to trade her nurse's hat for a classroom full of picture books. She was inspired by her students, who found joy and curiosity in everything they saw. Because of these kids, and for all kids, she became a writer. Bonnie lives in Syosset, New York. Judi Abbot was born and raised in Italy. She studied illustration at the art school in Milan. She now lives in London with her family. Judi usually works with acrylics, collage, and colored pencils, but she's also good with digital media. In addition to her work as an illustrator, Judi organizes creative workshops for children in bookstores and libraries.
