Eric Braun has written dozens of books for readers of all ages and edited hundreds more. He is a McKnight fellow and a nice fellow, and he likes to ride his bike really far and really fast.

He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and two sons, some of whose antics have found their way into his books (unbeknownst to them).

Stephanie Dehennin is an illustrator based in Antwerp, Belgium. After studying illustration at Saint Lukas in Ghent, she-somewhat unplanned-became a freelance art director in the magazine world, but never stopped drawing and painting.

The love for illustration was too strong to ignore, so she decided to dedicate the rest of her career to drawing and painting for children. Stephanie reveres Hayao Miyazaki, Tim Burton, and Dr Seuss, and has a mild obsession for flying contraptions, robots, and excessively large machinery.
