Mo Williems - Author of December
Caldecott-winner Mo Willems grew up in New Orleans. He spent much of his youth telling stories and drawing. Willems especially loved reading "Peanuts" comics and then sketching Snoopy and Charlie Brown himself. "I even wrote a letter to Charles Schulz," Willems recalls, "saying that I wanted his job when he died." During high school, Willems acted in plays and started doing standup routines at comedy clubs.
Nick B. Ponter - Author of January
I was born near Windsor, England in 1968. My interesting career started as a carpenter, then in the army and foreign service. I now work as a business English trainer in Germany. A school prize in English was an early indicator for my interest in writing fantasy. I gained a Bachelor in International Studies, influencing my story telling with a focus on modern contemporary issues. I love travelling and lived in Asia for six years. I am inspired by outdoor activities and heavy metal. Most of my story was written in a tent at the River Weser and in the Alps.
