About Us

 

We are an illustrator/author duo who make books, visit schools, advocate for educational equity, juggle four kids, and run a commercial salmon fishing outfit on the Alaskan tundra.

Follow our adventures (and daily, 60-second videos) on Instagram or YouTube.

Our Books

Together, we create critically acclaimed, kid-approved, librarian-endorsed, exuberantly illustrated middle grade novels and picture books with Random House and Macmillan.

The Busload
of Books

 

We offer free, in-person author/illustrator visits and book giveaways to one Title I school each month—and free virtual assemblies available to any Title I community (with generous support from our partners First Book and Build-A-Bear Foundation). Sign up to be notified when this programming launches in fall of 2024.

Book Us

 

We offer in-person and virtual author/illustrator visits (K-6), book-making and collaboration workshops, conference keynotes, and short-term residencies.

Fun Stuff

 

Browse rainy day activities, crafts, and DIY downloadables: make a dragon, bind a book, create a secret handshake.
