| Author Notes: | ALEX KILLIAN is a picture book author whose debut picture book, This Table , will be followed by In-Between Places . She comes from a film background, and she has worked in both film production and creative development. Alex still has a handmade wooden table she picked up after college, which has occupied a special spot in her living places in San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as in her current home in Long Beach, California. BROOKE SMART lives with her husband and three children in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her work appears in children's books, children's magazines, newspapers, and on walls of buildings near and far. She loves working with traditional media, especially with watercolor, gouache, and (on occasion) acrylic paint. Much of her time is spent at her kitchen table with her family--eating, playing board games for endless hours, creating imaginary worlds from Legos or paper or cardboard and, of course, drawing. |
