Emma Garcia is a writer and artist, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. It was after winning her first art contest at the age of five that she discovered her passion for the enchanting world of storytelling. She later graduated from Woodbury University with a bachelor's degree in Animation. Today, she serves as the Editorial Assistant at Lil' Libros and the Editor and Copywriter for the non-profit organization Salvies Who Lunch. When she is not creating, she's hunting for the yummiest food in the valley with her miniature schnauzer by her side.

Hazel Quintanilla has been drawing since she was little and used to carry a pencil and a small notebook in a cute furry bear face purse that her mom bought for her. She also carried cheese cubes in it (ewww!). When she grew up, she decided to follow her passion and studied graphic design, followed by an MA where she specialized in illustration. She has produced work for numerous brands, magazines, and books, illustrating over a hundred children's books published in the United States and worldwide. Hazel loves animals, pj's, and her iPad, in which she produces most of her art. She's the proud mom of 9 dogs and really loves her job and enjoys putting the bold colors and cute shapes living in her mind on paper.
