Kim Norman Author

Kim Norman, the author of more than twenty children’s books, is still a little jealous of her sister Tanya, who once won a new truck in a national contest. Calling herself a Bedtime Reading Booster, Norman has visited hundreds of schools around the United States. She loves art, music, and life with her husband and two pug-mix dogs in a little house in Virginia shaded by big pecan trees. Visit her at kimnormanbooks.com.

Toshiki Nakamura grew up surrounded by trucks during his childhood since both his father and grandfather were civil engineers. Nakamura is an artist and character designer in both animation and illustration. He has worked for studios such as Netflix Animation, HouseSpecial, and DreamWorks TV. He is currently based in Kanagawa, Japan. Visit him at artoftoshi.com.
