Luis and Tabitha

Stephanie Campisi is an Australian-born, Washington-based children’s book author. She has slept in a cemetery, has a friend who was bullied by a prince, and lives in a haunted house in a haunted town. Two of the three statements in the previous sentence are true. Or maybe they all are.

Stephanie is the author of the picture books The Ugly Dumpling and Luis and Tabitha. She has two more books - The Five Sisters and Very Lulu - releasing in 2019.

Hollie Mengert graduated college with a BFA in Design and Animation - a career path she gravitated toward after years of drawing and finding never-ending inspiration in illustrated stories and animated films.

Now working as a kidlit illustrator, character designer, and game industry animator, she is thrilled to call this passion her career. Hollie has had the opportunity to work on children’s books, games, comics, and more - she loves any opportunity to help tell a story or bring a smile with her artwork.

When not diving into a new illustration, Hollie can be found looking for the perfect cup of coffee in Seattle’s rainy weather.
