Chris Becker (Author)
Chris Becker is a second grade teacher from New York who spends his days reading silly stories, tying shoelaces, answering endless questions, and helping kids discover a love of books. He's passionate about storytelling, both in and out of the classroom, and believes there's nothing better than a read-aloud that makes everyone laugh.
When he's not teaching, Chris loves running (he's finished a few marathons), hanging with friends and family, and spending time with his dog Oliver and cat Jasper.
His debut picture book, The Perfect Match, is just the beginning-he's excited to keep writing stories that connect with kids and spark joy.

Dan Taylor (Illustrator)
Dan Taylor was born in Staffordshire UK and has been working as children's illustrator for over 15 years. Dan's most recently illustrated book Papa's Coming Home written by Chasten Buttigieg and published by Penguin made it to the New York Times Bestseller list. Dan is also illustrator of the Mini Heroes of the Forest series by Auzou which has been adapted into a preschool series for French and Italian tv and is soon to be shown in more countries.


Dan finds much of his inspiration from 1950's and 60's design and creates his illustrations digitally combining hand painted textures and elements and putting it all together using his trusty iPad. When not illustrating, Dan also teaches art to children with special educational needs - and when he's not teaching, he can be found napping, trying to stay healthy and enjoying his time with family and friends.
