Bonnie Farmer was born in Shelburne, Nova Scotia and lives in Montreal. As an elementary school teacher, she certainly knows her way around the library! She is an award-winning playwright whose first children's book, Isaac's Dreamcatcher (Lobster Press, 2002), was a Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice selection (2003).
Marie Lafrance has illustrated for magazines, newspapers, billboards and boxes of jelly powder, but now she prefers to use her warm and engaging artwork to bring picture books to life. Marie lives in Montreal, Quebec, with her husband, her daughter plus a dog and a cat.
