Marion Dane Bauer is the author of many books for young readers, including the Newbery Honor book _On My Honor_ and the Coretta Scott King Book Illustrator Award winner _The Stuff of Stars_. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, and can be reached at MarionDaneBauer.com.

John Wallace's formal training was not in illustration, but rather theology, which he received at Cambridge University. However, he always loved drawing, and one of his early jobs was as a newspaper cartoonist. In his children's books illustrations, John is particularly inspired by what he calls "the gooniness" of young school children. John and his family divide their time between Brighton, England, and Long Island, New York.
