Aimee Isaac is a children's book author who writes stories fueled by her passion for the natural world. She is a former teacher and a busy advocate, dedicated to protecting the environment and ending Alzheimer's. Aimee's educational background includes sociology, early childhood special education, and reading. When Aimee isn't writing or advocating, she's often found hiking, reading, or spending time with her family. Aimee spends time each summer by the Juniata, a river that meanders its way toward the Atlantic Ocean where she lives now with her husband and three children in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Jaime Kim was born and raised in South Korea before moving to the US when she was eighteen. Although she was a timid child who was afraid of just about everything, she discovered a sense of serenity in drawing. As a grown-up, Jaime kept on drawing and painting, working with gouache, watercolors, and acrylics to create nostalgic and dreamlike illustrations inspired by childhood memories of her family, as well as movies, art, and the outside world. Her debut illustrated picture book, Take Heart, My Child, was a #1 New York Times bestseller.
