Peter Plumber's Perfect Plan

Mika Samuelle was born and raised in NYC where she grew up amongst artists, authors, and musicians. One could always find her journaling, singing, or dancing. Mika studied Theatre in London and then began working behind-the-scenes for off-Broadway plays, Broadway musicals, and operas in Italy. Her artistic journey was illuminated while working with the Ballet, inspiring the creation of stories that interweave music and art. Mika currently lives in New Jersey and continues to find joy in the rhythm of life with her husband, two daughters, and tap dancing. She is also the proud author of Shuffle Off to Buffalo!

Vera Bogachenko was born in Ukraine to the family of a Baptist pastor. As a child, she admired her children's bible with its colorful pictures. She thought it was miraculous that pictures could tell stories so beautifully! Vera started drawing anywhere and everywhere: with her fingers on a dusty car, at school in the margins of her notebooks, in church in her mother's books. First with pencils, then with paints on canvas. When she grew up, she studied Design and Art at the University. After receiving her bachelor's degree she delved into book illustration. As her creativity evolved, she mastered digital illustration which appealed to her love of technology. Vera and her husband live in California and raise a son and daughter - her biggest fans!
