About the Author
Kara Navolio is a children’s book author and freelance writer. Her first picture book, Everybody Can Dance!, celebrates the joy of dance with a message of inclusion. Her second book, Maggie Discovers the Rainbow, is a magical adventure discovering how color can make us feel.
When she isn’t writing for children, Kara tells stories of real-life heroes, artists, and authors for local newspapers. Kara also volunteers her time as a docent at the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, CA, where she takes school children on tours and teaches art in local schools. She loves to read, travel, take photographs, paint, hike, dance, cook, and spend time with her family, especially her now grown-up kids. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, and makes it a goal to learn something new every day.
About the Illustrator
An enthusiast of all things whimsical and silly, Tracie Timmer has been drawing cute, fuzzy animals and ethereal mermaids since before she can remember. As a freelance illustrator from the Bay Area who specializes in children’s books, she uses her art as an outlet for all the zany ideas that bounce around in her head all day, bringing them to life on her canvas.
Tracie is a graduate of the Academy of Art MFA program, and illustrates in addition to her full-time job at The Walt Disney Family Museum creating public programming about art, animation, and the history of Walt Disney. In the past, she has worked as a painting instructor for both children and adults. Along with her work in children’s books, she also has a great love for visual development and animation. When she’s not in her studio or at the museum, you can most often find her eating huge bowls of spaghetti and exploring the many nooks and crannies San Francisco has to offer. Look for her debut children’s book, The Mermaid and the Moon, written by Susan Pace-Koch and published by Get Out Books. Maggie Discovers the Rainbow is her second book.
