Help Wanted, Must Love Books

Janet Sumner Johnson lives in Northen Utah with her husband and three children. She bakes a mean cinnamon twist and eats way more cookies than are good for her, which explains her running habit. In her past lives, she worked as a Translator, a Linguist, and a pizza delivery driver (but not all at once). Now, she sings in the shower, attends dance parties in her kitchen, and ruthlessly beats her kids at card games. Though her full-time occupation as evil tyrant/benevolent dictator (aka mom) takes most of her time, she sneaks in writing at night when her inner funny bone is fully unleashed.

Courtney Dawson is an illustrator and picture book artist living in the sunny little town of Ventura, California. She has a deep love of reading, her mom’s chilaquiles, and most kinds of ice cream. Her work is inspired by the world around us and all the good that’s in it. When she’s not working, she can be found riding her bike, painting to Sam Cooke’s music, or enjoying a rainy day with her partner, her baby, and her cute cat, Tuesday.
