Emily Skwish's favorite animal is the sea otter. Her favorite drink is coffee with cream. Her favorite flower is the Persian buttercup. And her favorite job is writing children's books. She lives in Evanston, Illinois with her gifted husband and two funny kids.
Erin Rose Wage will tell you that children's books matter because a lifelong love of reading begins before you can read. She loves to make collages and miniatures, embroider, and perhaps most of all, she loves to read. Her favorite color is green, her favorite texture is corduroy, and her favorite vegetable is celery. She lives in Chicago in a hundred-year-old (not haunted) house with her handsome spouse, a wacky cat, and lots of foliage.
