Maxim Pelletier (2012) lives with his parents, sister, two cats, and dog Pepper (the professional bird sitter) in New Jersey, United States. Max taught himself how to read at three years old and since then he has loved to read and write stories. His encounter with a baby bird while walking his dog gave him the idea to write his first children’s book at just 10 years old.

Davilyn Lynch was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, where she spent most days drawing. She grew up in an inspiring household surrounded by her father’s abstract canvasses. After the birth of her first child, she rediscovered her love of drawing. With the support of her husband and close friends, she made her dream a reality and became a fulltime illustrator. Davilyn is self-taught, allowing her passion and creativity to be her guide.
