About The Author
Joe McGee
Joe McGee (1972–2025) always loved to write about monsters and magic and other strange, curious, and quirky things. He grew up with his nose in a book and his imagination exploring other worlds. He knew when he was ten years old that one day he would grow up to be an author! He earned an MFA in writing for children and young adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts and a master of arts in writing from Rowan University. A former Army officer, Joe lived in many places, including New Jersey and West Virginia with his wife, Jessica Rinker (who is also a children’s author), and their two dogs, Pepper and Odin.
Jannie Ho writes and illustrates children’s books and is a cartoonist for Chickengirl comics, in which she draws herself as a neurotic hen observing everyday life. She studied illustration at Parsons School of Design and has worked at Nickelodeon and Scholastic. Jannie is the author-illustrator of Bear and Chicken, Happy Chinese New Year!, and The Lost Mitten. She lives with her mathematician husband and daughter near Boston.
