About the Author

Frank Tupta is a picture book author who has never received coal in his stocking. He grew up carving forts out of lake effect snow drifts in Northeast Ohio. He is an avid sledder and packs a mean snowball. When he’s not plowing his driveway on his tractor, he can be found next to a warm fireplace thawing his toes and working on his next big idea. 

Josh Cleland is an illustrator working out of his home gingerbread studio just outside of Portland, Oregon, where he resides with his wife, Rayna, and creative director/dog, Newman. Some of his recent illustrated children’s books include Welcome to the Woofmore, The Woofmore Is Not Haunted, Banana Hut, and Humpty’s Great Fall. His work can also be found in various children’s magazines including Highlights and Storytime, as well as greeting cards, games, and more. You can see his work at JoshCleland.com.
