About the Author
Justin Colon is a professional actor and children's book author. His previous picture books include The Quacken (illustrated by Pablo Pino) and Impossible Possums, (illustrated by James Rey Sanchez). A lover of Halloween and zombie movies, Justin is also a backyard beekeeper. Though his bees sometimes frighten the neighbors, they've never tried to eat their brains-something Justin takes great pride in. He lives in New York, but you can visit him at JustinColonBooks.com.
Kaly Quarles studied interior design and worked in architecture before landing in illustration. Her love for historic shopfronts, Victoriana, and vintage ephemera runs deep. When Kaly isn't drawing with a cat in her lap, she's hunting for obscure antiques, watching or reading historical fiction, or hosting one-woman pastry-eating contests.
