Katrina studied History & Science at Harvard and is disabled by ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). She adores being an aunt and is an excellent Lego builder - as long as they come in a kit!

Giulia Orecchia lives in Milano, Italy. She has two adorable grown up twin sons. She loves telling stories through art so that children can read her pictures, even if they cannot read words! To make her art, she uses the computer to cut and reassemble hundreds of painted paper scraps.
