Samantha Sweeney's favorite thing about writing and editing children's books is marveling at how much can be said in so few words. She lives in London in a tall house with a lot of stairs and comes up with some of her best ideas while she's on her way to the kitchen to make strong cups of tea. Her other great passion is soccer, and she is a dedicated supporter of a team that doesn't win very often.

Rob McClurkan has written two picture books and illustrated many others. He lives in Georgia with his family and their dog Izzi. When he isn't drawing, Rob enjoys board games, being outdoors, hanging out with friends and family, or tracking down vintage picture books.
