Robin Currie
Robin Currie spent her library career in the children’s department, where she could baa, moo, and honk without getting shushed. Her writing engages children not only in noisemaking but jumping, waving, and face making. So do her sermons.

Julia Lyon
I used to interview kids from around the world as a newspaper reporter. Now I write books for them, books I hope will inspire them to change the world. My debut, "A Dinosaur Named Ruth" (Simon & Schuster/Margaret K. McElderry Books) tells the story of a girl who found dinosaur bones in her own backyard. You can find a free teacher's guide on my website. I love connecting with kids and visiting schools. Let's meet!
