About the Author

Joli Hannah, a children's book author and publisher, started working with international publishers in 2000 to create children's books, which over time she began writing herself. She is raising three children in a charming house in the countryside, and every night before bedtime, she reads or invents original stories for them. Joli works under a pseudonym, as she wishes her readers to perceive her through her stories and not through her image on social media. She loves life, people, and their stories, and was born and raised in an industrial city in Central Europe.

Kathryn Selbert is an award-winning freelance illustrator and designer currently living in New Jersey with her tea-loving husband and grumpy french bulldog, Margot. She attended the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where she learned to love narrative art and graduated with a BFA in Illustration. For the past 10 years, Kathryn has worked to create illustrations for children's books, pattern, greeting cards, and events. Some of her clients include American Greetings, Crocodile Creek, Houghton Mifflin, Mudpuppy, Nosy Crow, Penguin, Scholastic, and Up with Paper. Her work is inspired by the people she meets in her everyday life, our colorful world, and having fun. You may find more work on her website www.kathrynselbertillustration.com or on Instagram @kathrynselbertillustration.
