Karli George (she/her) graduated from nursing school back in the '80s in her beloved Portland, Oregon. She is most happy during fall, especially when joined by her hilarious family, ridiculously fun friends, and her enormous Husky, Daisy. Add an ice-cold lime sparkling water to the mix and it doesn't get any better!

Emma Wolf (she/her) is an editor at A Kids Co. She was raised in a house full of books and became a voracious reader at an early age. She holds a BA in journalism from the University of Oregon and an MA in book publishing from Portland State University-which is another way of saying she loves words and her home in the Pacific Northwest. In her free time, Emma reads a lot, drinks kombucha, and spends lots of time outside with friends and family, rain or shine.
