Jennifer Richard Jacobson is the author of Winnie Dancing on Her Own and Truly Winnie, illustrated by Alissa Imre Geis; Moon Sandwich Moon, illustrated by Benrei Huang; and A Net of Stars, illustrated by Greg Shed. “There is a little bit of Andy Shane in me,” she says. “I remember what it was like to be bullied in school. But I also remember tattling, so I guess I have a bit of Dolores Starbuckle in me, too.”
Abby Carter has illustrated numerous books for children, including My Hippie Grandmother by Reeve Lindbergh. She is also the creator of the Fresh Samantha juice character and all her colorful friends. “From the moment I read the manuscript for this book, I couldn’t wait to illustrate the bossy Dolores Starbuckle!”
