The wonderful peope who brought this project to life—and helped turn our dream into a book-shaped reality.

Brandon Waybright

Our graphic designer took all of our text and artwork and skillfully brought it together into a beautifully formatted file, ready for the printer.

Brandon creates designs and crafts stories—everything from brand identities, websites and apps to books and live performances (some better received than others). Fueled by curiosity about the people and places around him, Brandon believes great work grows from healthy relationships with one's craft and community. He cultivates creativity and carrots in Dundee, Oregon.

Savanna is a children's book buyer by day and an all-kinds-of-books reader by night. Her years as an elementary school teacher helped form her love of children's books and all things silly. When she grows up, she hopes to become a librarian with really cool glasses. She lives in Beaverton, Oregon with her husband and their cat, Juice.
