Kiah Thomas started telling stories when she was a kid; reimagining the endings in books she read. She rediscovered her love of kids books when she had children of her own, and started writing beginnings as well as endings.

Kiah is passionate about books that kids and adults can enjoy together. She lives on the south coast of NSW with her husband, two children and at least seven stuffed toy penguins.

K-Fai Steele is an artist based in San Francisco, California. Some of her many interesting jobs and experiences include installing The Starry Night at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, joining an artist collective living in an old coffin factory in Philadelphia, building archival enclosures for very old books in a library, launching maker-space programs for urban libraries, and advising educators nationally on ways that libraries and museums can be places of learning for youth. She currently works for the National Writing Project, and is a recipient of the Ezra Jack Keats/Kerlan Memorial Fellowship.
