The Creatives Behind the Book
James Howe is the author of more than ninety books for young readers, including the modern classic Bunnicula and its highly popular sequels. In 2001, Howe published The Misfits, which was the inspiration for the national movement known as No Name-Calling Week (NoNameCallingWeek.org), an event observed by thousands of middle and elementary schools annually. There are three companion novels to The Misfits: Totally Joe (2005), Addie on the Inside (2011), and Also Known as Elvis (2014). Howe’s many other books for children from preschool through teens frequently deal with the acceptance of difference and being true to oneself. Visit him online at JamesHowe.com.
Randy Cecil has illustrated more than half a dozen books for children, including AND HERE’S TO YOU!, MY FATHER THE DOG, and WE’VE ALL GOT BELLYBUTTONS! He lives in Houston, Texas, where he also grew up.
