Kim Kish, a brand-new published children's book author, believes that every day is better with a sweet little Lucy and Lyla book in your hands (and maybe a cookie or two!)

Kim is a former elementary school teacher, professional New York actress, singer, and Theatre Director! However, her new favorite role is writing endearing books about her 2 adorable granddaughters!

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

When she's not writing, Kim enjoys baking all her granddaughter's favorite cookies!

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.
