Jane Kurtz and Karen Chin

Award-winning author Jane Kurtz has published more than 40 books—fiction and nonfiction, picture books and novels.

She also is on the faculty of the Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA in Children’s and YA Literature where she works with adults who want to become professional writers.

Francisco Riolobos

Francisco Riolobos is an illustrator from Seville, Spain, who moved to Barcelona to pursue his passion: illustration. Nature and pop culture, cartoons, dinosaurs, and video games inspire me to create new images and characters. He likes to come up with new visual languages , where clear shapes and bright colors are always present.
