Leah Johnson always wanted to be a superhero, but she became a writer instead, which she thinks is the next-best thing. Her best-selling debut novel, You Should See Me in a Crown, was a Stonewall Honor Book, the inagural Reese's Book Club YA Pick, and named one of Time's 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time. Leah lives in Indianapolis, where she writes books about Black girls with big hearts, plays fetch with the best dog in the world, and talks about Mile Morales to anyone who will listen. You can find Leah online at ByLeahJohnson.com and on Instagram @ByLeahJohnson.

Vashti Harrison is the 2024 Caldecott winner for Big, which she wrote and illustrated; as well as the #1 New York Times bestselling creator of Little Leaders, Little Dreamers, and Little Legends and the illustrator of Andrea Beaty's I Love You Like Yellow, Matthew Cherry's Hair Love, and Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic's Hello, Star, among others. She received a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor for Lupita Nyong'o's Sulwe and is also a two-time recipient of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work for Children.
