Julee Ann Granger was born and raised on a farm in rural central Iowa. Very much like the central character in her story, Julee Ann was given free reign, as a child, to explore the woods, ponds and creeks on her farm, as well as play with and befriend, a myriad of farm animals. She currently is an elementary school teacher in Kansas City, Kansas.
Jeanie Ransom started writing for children when she had children, and works primarily in the picture-book genre. When Jeanie isn't writing, visiting schools, or speaking at conferences, she's working with kids at her part-time counseling job, or making lattes at the local Starbucks. Jeanie lives with her family near St. Louis, Missouri.
