Miranda Paul is an award-winning children's author who has worked as a freelance writer, teacher, volunteer zookeeper, and more. She began writing in elementary school, thanks to her wonderful teachers. She also enjoys science, trivia, and board games. Most of Miranda's heroes are ordinary people who do extraordinary things-including her own kidbots who invent all kinds of gadgets with their super-handy dad. When she's not traveling, you can find Miranda chugging around in Green Bay, Wisconsin, or online at mirandapaul.com. Shane McG has been drawing ever since he can remember. When he was a kid he loved to draw cars, robots, and planes--and he still does! At school he created his own comic strips, and now he makes picture books, magazine illustrations, and cartoons for people all around the world.

He lived in London for a very long time and traveled to lots of interesting places, but now he resides in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia, with his partner. He loves to run, play tennis, sing in a "groovy" Pop choir, and eat gluten-free cake. Find out more about Shane at shanemcgworld.com.
