Stacy McAnulty's weekly grocery list always includes healthy items, like bananas and milk; ice cream doesn't need to be on the list because it's never forgotten. When not pushing a shopping cart, Stacy is writing books for children, including the Ezra Jack Keats honor book Excellent Ed; Brave; and Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years. She also writes chapter books and middle grade novels. She lives in North Carolina with three kids, three dogs, and one husband.
Deborah Hocking stocks up on tea, cheese, and trail mix when she's grocery shopping (she has no idea where those chocolate bars came from), which give her plenty of energy for her favorite activity--drawing pictures for kids! Deborah is the illustrator of The Great Henry Hopendower and the nonfiction picture book Build, Beaver, Build! Life at the Longest Beaver Dam. She lives in a hundred-year-old cottage in Portland, Oregon, that she fixed up with her husband, Jay.
