Sara Cassidy's children's books include finalists for the Governor General's Literary Award in Young People's Literature, Chocolate Lily Award, City of Victoria Children's Book Prize, Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award and the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award. Her early novel Genius Jolene won a BC Book Prize. Her most recent book for young readers is Star Sailor, The Story of Words.
She also writes for adults. Sara lives in Victoria, British Columbia, and visits France often. Amy Meissner currently lives and works in Anchorage, Alaska. Her two, bad orange cats keep her company in the studio all day long where she paints, draws, writes, cuts fabric and moves cats off the things they aren't supposed to sleep on. Creating art for children's books is Amy's favorite job, but she also illustrates for posters and articles.
She recently completed an MFA in Creative Writing and has undergraduate degrees in both Art and Textiles.
