About the Author

Kimberly Derting is the award-winning author of multiple young adult novels and co-authors numerous picture books, including the popular Cece Loves Science and Penny, the Engineering Tale of the Fourth Little Pig. As a child, Kimberly’s favorite pastimes were visiting the Bookmobile (a library on wheels) and drawing worms because her art skills were so bad that she couldn’t draw anything with arms or legs. These days, she lives with her husband, their goofy dog, and two moody cats. She spends most of her free time spoiling her grandkids while they destroy her at Mario Kart! Shiho Pate was born in Hokkaido, Japan, and raised in Aichi. She received her degree in illustration from the Savannah College for Art and Design and worked for indie gaming studios before she started making children’s books. Among many other books, she illustrated Ramen for Everyone by Patricia Tanumihardja, which was a 2023 Indie Next Pick and a Junior Library Guild Selection. Shiho lives in Southern California with her husband and their daughter.
