About the Author

Lenore Appelhans loves dancing almost as much as Lucky and would jump at the chance to dance with raccoons. Her father served in the United States Air Force, which gave Lenore an early taste of wanderlust, and to date she has visited over seventy countries. Lenore holds an MFA in creative writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and is the author of several teen novels. Her debut picture book, Chick-o-Saurus Rex, was illustrated by Daniel Jennewein and was called “a good-hearted romp” by the New York Times. Lenore lives and writes near Washington, DC. Ken Lamug grew up in the Philippines and is the oldest of five kids. His parents’ “family business” was running a small convenience store just in front of their house. They sold snacks, rented movies, and even had their own photocopier. While he was helping in the store, Ken would often draw on leftover scraps of paper and make them into comics. An author and illustrator of picture books and graphic novels, Ken’s books include the hilarious middle grade graphic novel Mischief and Mayhem: Born to Be Bad. Find out more at www.rabbleboy.com.
