About the Author
Riley Black has been a fossil fanatic since the time she was knee-high to a Stegosaurus. Her evolution into a science writer and amateur paleontologist was only natural. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, right in the centre of dinosaur country, she chases tales of vanished lives from museum collections to remote badlands. Isobel Joy Te Aho-White is an artist of Maori, British and Danish ancestry who lives in Poneke/Wellington city. Isobel’s illustrations often incorporate plant life and kowhaiwhai that are native to Aotearoa New Zealand. She has illustrated several children’s books for Penguin Random House, Scholastic, Huia Publishers, Te Papa Press and OneTree House.
