MeiLin Chan is a children's book author who finally found what she wants to be when she grows up. She enjoys writing about wild adventures she wishes she could have and difficult situations she is grateful to avoid. When she's not writing, she's likely making scary faces at nut-stealing squirrels by her almond trees with her daughters and husband in Northern California. Like Tai, she adores chocolate coins and magical animals and would love to ride a dragon. This is her first picture book.

Kristen Chow is a Canadian-born Chinese illustrator based in Vancouver. She graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design with a BFA in illustration, and now works to bring colourful stories, worlds, and characters to life. In her artwork, she often draws inspiration from the culturally blended nature of her own experiences, and hopes to encourage young readers to be creative, much like how books did for her in her childhood. When not immersed in illustrating, Kristen enjoys eating good food, spending time with loved ones, and cuddling her two cats, Cadbury & Henry!.
