About the Author

Rachel Lancashire is a Dutch writer, editor, and journalist with a master’s degree in English language and linguistic science. She speaks English and Dutch fluently, German quite well, but her French is a bit rusty. Her favorite words are handkerchief and the Dutch word for “orange juice”: sinaasappelsap. Lancashire lives in the Netherlands. Jenny Zemanek is a lifelong lover of all things creative. What started with happy scribbles at a young age grew into a pursuit of photography and graphic design before she found a home with illustration and hand-lettering. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband and two rescue dogs. Zemanek revels in the joys of small decorative details, finding ways to add personality to her work.
