Maggie Fischer is originally from Oregon, but now lives in Seattle, Washington, after receiving her B.A. in English from Gonzaga University. The daughter of a children’s librarian, Maggie has grown up surrounded by books and feels impossibly lucky to write and edit books for kids. She spends her time trying not to get worried about the increasing number of crows in her backyard, petting her enormous cat, Finch, and drinking more coffee than is probably healthy.

After graduating from the Art Center College of Design, Mike Jackson started freelancing for all the major studios (i.e. Disney, Warner Bros.) and has worked successfully as an illustrator for over 25 years. His company “MJ Illustrations” includes a small group of very talented people, with a primary focus on children’s books and product package design. Currently located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he enjoys doing both commercial and fine art in the beautiful environment of the great southwest.
