About the Author
Colin Meloy is the lead singer and songwriter of The Decemberists, a highly celebrated (and uncommonly literary) band that has sold in excess of 1 million records. Colin has been recognised as much for his musical abilities – his ear for inventive and timeless melodies and his lilting vocals – as he has been for his unmatched lyrical prowess. Crafting each song as a vivid, imaginative story unto itself, he’s become one of the most distinctive and appreciated voices of our time. Wildwood marks Colin’s debut as children’s author. He is the bestselling author of the Wildwood series of middle grade novels and The Whiz Mob and the Grenadine Kid. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
Shawn Harris is an artist and musician who lives in California’s Mojave Desert. He got his start doing record and poster art for popular musicians including 311, Snoop Dogg, and Adele. His first picture book, Her Right Foot, written by Dave Eggers, was the recipient of seven starred reviews and has received dozens of awards. His second book with Dave Eggers, What Can a Citizen Do?, was named by Time Magazine as one of The 10 Best YA and Children's Books of 2018.
