About the Author
Josh Crute was hiking on a mossy mountain when he peeked into the wrong rock cleft and discovered a doorway to another dimension. He hasn’t been seen since, but manuscripts postmarked from the hills of Alabama arrive periodically on Josh’s publishers’ doorsteps. He is the author of several picture books, including Oliver: The Second-Largest Living Thing on Earth and Jonas Hanway’s Scurrilous, Scandalous, Shockingly Sensational Umbrella. You can visit Josh at joshcrute.com. James Rey Sanchez grew up in a humble home in Santa Maria, CA, where his love for art first began from countless hours of reading comics, playing video games, and 90s Saturday morning cartoons. As a kid and into adulthood, he would travel America with his grandpa, camping and growing, ever inspired by the beauty of the land and towns he visited. James graduated from the Academy of Art University with a BFA in visual development, studies in children’s book illustration, and top honors. He started his career in the animation world with ClassDojo and soon transitioned to creating picture books. James’s art is uniquely stylized, focusing on the beauty of simplistic design that evokes emotion, and color that expresses his heritage more than words can. He loves spending time traveling the world and finding new things that inspire him and sipping on a Mexican Mule every now and then.
