Kevin Maillard is a contributor to the New York Times and a professor of law at Syracuse University. He is the author of And They Walk On , illustrated by Rafael Lopez, and Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story , a picture book illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal, which won the Sibert Medal and the American Indian Youth Literature Honor. An enrolled member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, he lives with his family in Manhattan and Vermont.

Born and raised in New York, Sibu T.P. is a first-generation child of immigrants. He spent a great deal of his childhood years scribbling and sketching, dreaming and imagining. Today, he tells stories through picture books. Sibu studied English Lit at SUNY Stony Brook, and illustration at the Hartford Art School. When he's not in front of his drawing board, he's taking pictures while hiking, and running from squirrels.
