Diana Aleksandrova

I was born and raised in the historical capital of Bulgaria, a charming old town where houses sit perched on a hill above a river. After graduating from college, I moved across the ocean in pursuit of the American dream. Little did I know that my dream did not reside in a certain country or even a continent but was all along within me.
It took me a while to start doing what gives me joy; creating stories that make kids and grown-ups, alike, open their minds to the impossible, marvel or laugh.
Books are our tickets to adventures. They let us discover and explore fascinating places, and join charming heroes, crooked villains, and magical creatures through unforgettable journeys.

Lisa Konkol

From the award-winning author and illustrator comes a cute and rhyming read-aloud picture book about counting, math, and including everyone! The adorable and funny illustrations will delight your child with each page turn. Lisa Konkol’s exciting illustrations will surely tickle little ones' humor for hours of read-aloud fun.

A colorful picture book for children about inclusion and starting a fun relationship with numbers to avoid “math stress.” The numbers are worth more when working together. Every number has value, and students in a classroom are important. The other numbers help Zero realize his value. Numbers solve problems.

At an early age, children have big imaginations and embrace new ideas. Mrs. Wiggles is the best way to intro

Barbara Pinke

Barbara Pinke is an award-winning children’s book author who believes every story deserves a sprinkle of adventure, a dash of heart, and maybe even a dancing fish or two.

Born and raised in Hungary, Barbara hopscotched her way across Europe—collecting memories, inspiration, and probably a few too many notebooks—before settling in Germany with her family (and her ever-growing tea stash).

By day, she works in HR (helping grown-ups), and by night, she writes books (helping little hearts grow big). She doesn’t drink coffee (though she loves the smell), but give her a cup of warm plum tea and a handful of pistachios, and she’s ready to take on any story.

Whether she’s writing about underwater adventures, superhero parents, or bugs that love to hug

Joey Benun

Joey Benun has always thought BIG—just like the BIG numbers he loves so much. He’s been fascinated with numbers since he was five years old—the bigger, the better. A fortuitous conversation with his niece and nephews inspired him to think EVEN BIGGER and introduce children of all ages to the fun and fascination of large numbers. Thus, Pebbles and the Biggest Number was born!

Years before Pebbles took flight, nine-year-old Joey penned a comic series about a disgruntled ketchup packet. Transformed into The Ketchup Monster after being carelessly discarded, it wasn't long before his imaginative tale had both friends and teachers vying for a copy.

Currently, Joey resides in Brooklyn, New York, overseeing Amazon accounts for his family's apparel bu
