About Us
We are a wife/husband, illustrator/author duo who make books, visit schools, speak at conferences, juggle four kids, and run a commercial salmon fishing outfit on the Alaskan tundra.
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 Tour
We’ll be spending the 2022-23 school year living and traveling the country in a tiny home school bus, visiting Title I schools in all 50 states, and giving away 25,000 free books to deserving kids and teachers from underserved communities.
Book Us
We offer live and virtual author/illustrator visits (K-6), book-making and collaboration workshops, conference presentations, creative critiques, and short-term residencies.
Blog
We share periodic thoughts and stories about creativity, publishing, parenting, and other miscellany.
Fun Stuff
Browse rainy day activities, crafts, and DIY downloadables: make a dragon, bind a book, create a secret handshake.
