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).

Alessandro Valdrighi studied in Florence and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from prestigious Accademia delle Belle Arti as a set designer. Before going to university, when he was a child, Alessandro started drawing by copying comics and illustrations from books. He believes that’s the main reason he is able to tackle multiple styles and enjoys a challenge each respective style brings. He worked as a cartoonist, illustrator and concept artist (his favourite), with traditional and digital media. Alessandro also won a prize for his comic called Lagrimas en la lluvia, featured as the best comic book publication published in Spain.
