Author/Illustrator Bio

  • Fran Cannon Slayton spent her childhood growing up in Manassas, Virginia, hoping for snow days off from school. After graduating from the University of Virginia (where she once skied on the lawn in front of Thomas Jefferson's famous Rotunda after a huge snowstorm), Fran worked as a prosecutor and legal publisher before becoming a children's book author. Kirkus hailed her debut middle-grade novel, When the Whistle Blows, as "an unassuming masterpiece." Fran lives with her husband, daughter, and a very furry dog in Virginia. You can visit Fran at FranCannonSlayton.com.
  • Tracy Bishop is a children's illustrator living in San Jose, CA. She juggles working as an illustrator with being a wife and mom. In her past life, Tracy has been a bookseller, graphic designer, and a web developer. Mixing digital art with traditional watercolors and ink keeps both sides of her brain happy.
