Chelsea Tornetto is an author, world geography teacher, and mom who has been writing ever since she was a kid. Her first book, Conquering Content Vocabulary, was published by Scholastic in 2018, but now her passion is picture books. In both the classroom and in her books, her goal is to help kids fall in love with the wonders of our world and to introduce them to places and people beyond their own backyard. She lives in Jackson, Missouri, with her husband, Mike, her two kids, Tessa and Milo, and a miniature dachshund named Stella. She loves snow days, lattes, and summer.  She hates spiders, her sinuses, and laundry.

Kimberley Barnes grew up on the Isle of Wight reading books and drawing whenever she had the chance.  She earned a degree in Illustration from the University of Lincoln and began focusing on children’s illustration, leading her to a career she loves. When she’s not illustrating, she loves to bake and do some gardening and take short walks in the sunshine by the canal next to her home. Kimberley lives on the Isle of Wight, UK, with her fiancé and two children.
