Her search for answers led her to write books that might inspire young readers to think, explore, and stay open to life's mysteries. Her debut novel, <i>The Lost Track of Time</i>, was hailed by <i>Publishers Weekly</i> in a starred review as an exuberant homage to the power of imagination. <i>Why Am I Me?</i> is her first picture book. She lives near Austin, Texas, with her husband. Visit her online at paigebritt.com. <br/> Sean Qualls finds inspiration everywhere, from old buildings, nature, fairy tales, black memorabilia, and outsider art to cave paintings, African imagery, mythology, music, and his native Brooklyn. He is the co-illustrator, with his wife, Selina Alko, of the celebrated picture books <i>Two Friends</i> by Dean Robbins and <i>The Case for Loving</i> by Selina Alko. Other acclaimed picture books he has illustrated include <i>Giant Steps to Change the World</i> by Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee, <i>Little Cloud and Lady Wind</i> by Toni Morrison and her son Slade, <i>Dizzy</i> by Jonah Winter, and <i>Before John Was a Jazz Giant</i> by Carole Boston Weatherford, for which he received a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his family. Visit him online at seanqualls.com. <br/> Selina Alko has always been curious about different people and cultures, which stems, in part, from growing up with a Canadian mother and a Turkish father, who spoke seven languages and taught her to paint. Her art brims with optimism, experimentation, and a deep commitment to multiculturalism and human rights. She is the author of <i>The Case for Loving</i>, which she illustrated with her husband, Sean Qualls, and the co-illustrator, also with Sean, of <i>Two Friends</i> by Dean Robbins. She has written and illustrated several other acclaimed picture books, including <i>Daddy Christmas & Hanukkah Mama</i> and <i>B Is for Brooklyn</i>. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her family.
