About the Author
Katrina Tangen lives in Southern California, USA, between Disneyland and the beach. At Harvard, she studied Folklore & Mythology, History of Science, Psychology, and Religion, so she knows a little bit about a lot of things. This turned out to be excellent training for writing nonfiction for kids!
Giulia Orecchia lives in Milano, Italy. She has two adorable grown up twin sons. She loves telling stories through art so that children can read her pictures, even if they cannot read words! To make her art, she uses the computer to cut and reassemble hundreds of painted paper scraps.
