Amy E. Sklansky is the author of a dozen books for children, most of which are written in verse. As a kid, she dressed up as Laura Ingalls Wilder two Halloweens in a row. She has visited (in person and virtually) more than 150 schools and libraries from Turtle Lake, North Dakota, to Singapore. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri, where she is fond of reading aloud and drinking fancy black tea as she crafts her stories.

Chiara Galletti is a children’s book illustrator and character designer. She has a degree in advertising from the University for Foreigners of Perugia and a specialization in e-design from the Academy of Digital Arts Nemo in Florence. Currently she is working in advertising, publishing, and web as a freelancer and organizing drawing workshops for children and adults at the Biblioteca delle Nuvole in Perugia. Chiara is very curious and loves learning new things and observing the world around her in every way possible: by traveling, reading, watching movies, visiting art exhibitions, and meeting new people. Drawing for her is not a hobby or a job; it is a mission. She wants to make people happy with her art. Chiara lives in Italy.
