Elizabeth McPike once had three little sleepyheads. Now they are grown and she has no idea when they go to bed, but suspects it is late. A writer, editor, and late-afternoon napper, she lives in Washington, DC. On a perfect day, she is likely to be found in her garden or in the remainder section of her nearby bookstore or sitting in a quiet pew by a stained-glass window. Patrice Barton created her first painting at the age of three, in Crisco on the dining room wall. She has illustrated many picture books, including Mine! by Shutta Crum and Sweet Moon Baby by Karen Henry Clark. Patrice lives in Cedar Park, Texas.
