Jake Gyllenhaal is an Academy Award- and Tony-nominated actor, producer, and, most importantly, uncle to Ramona and Gloria. He was born in Los Angeles and has been best friends with Greta Caruso (his coauthor) since they were kids.
Greta Caruso is the longtime niece of a small group of
Hall-of-Famer aunts and uncles. (She is also an aspiring HoF aunt
to Vincent.) A lifelong voracious reader-and entrepreneur and
producer-Greta has loved writing this, her first book, with her
best friend, Jake.
Dan Santat is the Caldecott Medal-winning and New York
Times-bestselling author and illustrator of The Adventures of
Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, Are We There Yet?, and After the
Fall: How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again. His artwork is also
featured in numerous picture books, chapter books, and middle grade
novels, including Dav Pilkey's Ricky Ricotta series. Dan lives in
Southern California with his wife, two kids, and many, many
pets.
Praise for The Secret Society of Aunts & Uncles: "Santat's illustrations extend the story with hilarity, -absurdity, and tenderness . . . Nieces and nephews who read this book will never look at their aunts and uncles the same way again. A wonderful adventure to be enjoyed by all and a challenge to all adults to loosen up and enjoy the children around them." -School Library Journal
