Kim Kish, a brand-new children’s book author, affectionately known to her granddaughters as “Gigi,” believes every day is better with a little imagination (and maybe a cookie or two!)

Kim is a former elementary school teacher, professional actress, singer, and theatre director, but now her favorite role is writing endearing stories about her 2 granddaughters.

Kim lives in Westerville, Ohio with her loving and supportive husband, Russ and their darling dog, Newman!

Edith Dinger Wadkins is a local artist and art teacher. In her studio, she works on still life paintings with birds and portraits of pets in oil paint, pastel and watercolor as well as pictures of sweet little sisters!

Sometimes you can find her outside with her easel painting "plein air". She wants to encourage both children and adults alike to never stop learning.
