JOE SUTPHIN is an illustrator of books for kids such as Andrew Peterson's beloved Wingfeather Saga, the New York Times bestselling Word of Mouse by James Patterson, and the official graphic novel adaptation of Richard Adams's timeless classic, Watership Down (Ten Speed, 2022). His love of nature, and of the living creatures in the fields and woods around his home, has informed his art for much of his life. Joe lives in a barn in Ohio with his wife, Gina, and a bunch of cats. ERIK M. PETERSON has been a designer and art director of book covers and interiors for over twenty years. From time to time he works on other types of design projects but always come back to books. More recently he's worked on large-scale visual storytelling projects such as Little Pilgrim's Progress: Illustrated Edition (in collaboration with illustrator Joe Sutphin) and The Pursuit of God: A 31-Day Experience (a thoughtful, illustrative layout of A. W.

Tozer's classic work, designed for slow, meditative reading).
