Diana Murray is the author of many picture books for kids and her poems have appeared in children's magazines such as Highlights, High Five, Spider, and Ladybug.

She grew up in New York City and still lives nearby with her husband, two very messy children, and a goldfish named Pickle. Her favorite pizza toppings are mushrooms and olives.

Rob McClurkan grew up in Tennessee where his grandparents farm and Saturday morning cartoons and the Sunday Funnies fuelled his imagination. He began his art career in advertising and publishing but left all that to work in his basement and focus totally on illustration.

When not working in his basement, Rob lives in the upstairs portion of his house with wife, two kids and their dog, Izzi, in Atlanta, Georgia.
