About the Author

Iron Tazz is an avid camper, backpacker, hiker, and artist. Iron created @Hike.It on TikTok to share his experiences in the outdoors and now has over 80 million likes and 3.4 million followers. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his young family, who often join him on his adventures.

Deborah Hocking is a children's illustrator living in her hometown of Portland, Oregon. When she's not drawing, you can find her taking her sweet spotted pup for a hike, listening to audiobooks while weeding the garden, or exploring the Pacific Northwest, hopefully with a handful of friends and a backpack full of snacks.
