Some of Allan Morey's favorite childhood memories are from the time he spent on a farm in Wisconsin. Everyday he saw cows, chickens, and sheep. He even had a pet pig named Pete. He developed a great appreciation of animals, big and small. Allan currently lives in St Paul with his family and dog, Ty, who keeps him company while he writes children's books.

Growing up, Luke Séquin-Magee spent a lot of time reading comics and watching cartoons, and then doodling his own characters to make up goofy stories. They always made his family laugh, especially his little sister. He went on to study fine art in Canada and multimedia design in Denmark. From there, he has made graphics, illustrations, and animations for computer games, websites and apps. But he still enjoys creating characters and stories for picture books and comics. He currently lives in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweeden, with his lovely wife and their four children.
