Joanna Cole is the author of the popular Magic School Bus series, I’m a Big Brother, I’m a Big Sister, and many other award-winning books. In Asking About Sex & Growing Up, she provides a reassuring blend of practical guidance and scientific fact for the audience that needs it most.

Bruce Degen illustrated all the Jesse Bear books. He was the author and illustrator of Jamberry, and the illustrator of the acclaimed Magic School Bus series. He taught courses on art and the writing and illustrating of children’s books to children and adults. Mr. Degen lived with his wife and their two sons in Connecticut in a renovated farmhouse with ducks on the pond, bats in the barn, and a family tree that Jesse Bear himself would love to climb.
