About Bonnie Grubman

Bonnie Grubman grew up with a love of reading. As a child she lived in an apartment with her family pet turtles and a parakeet. On hot summer nights she would cool off on the fire escape with a flashlight and a big stack of books. Bonnie went to nursing school but later decided to trade her nurse's hat for a classroom full of picture books. She was inspired by her students who found joy and curiosity in everything they saw. Because of these kids and for all kids she became a writer. Bonnie lives in Syosset New York.Katrien Benaets obtained her masters degree in Free and Applied Graphics at PIKOH (Hasselt Belgium). Since her first encounter with a pencil she has been passionate about drawing and illustration. Katrien uses visual storytelling to invite children to enter new fantastical worlds.
