Jane O'Connor was born and raised in the fabulous metropolis of New
York City. That's where she still lives with her husband, Jim,
although both their grown sons did something unfathomable (that
means impossible to understand). They moved to the West Coast!
Besides writing the Fancy Nancy series and other books for
children, Jane spent her whole career as an editor at major
publishing houses. Recently retired, she finds herself with
something she never had before--free time to do whatever she
pleases.
Robin Preiss Glasser has illustrated many acclaimed picture books,
including the bestselling Fancy Nancy series, Lambslide, Escape
Goat, and Grand Jeté and Me: A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids. She
won the Children's Choice Award for Best Illustrator of the Year
for Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet. Robin actually wore tiaras
and tutus when she danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet. Now she
happily spends her days in jeans, drawing. Robin and her family
live in Southern California.
