Irene Latham is a poet and novelist who lives and writes in
Birmingham, Alabama. Her debut novel Leaving Gee's Bend was named a
Bank Street College Best Book, a SIBA finalist, a Crystal Kite
Finalist and ALLA's Children's Book of the Year. As a child she
dreamed of being a zoo veterinarian and even trained as a teenage
zoo volunteer. All it took was observing one surgery to convince
her that perhaps she'd better just write about the animals
instead.
Stephanie Graegin received her BFA in Fine Arts from the Maryland
Institute College of Art and a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking
from Pratt Institute. Stephanie lives in Brooklyn, NY.
