About the Author
Shing Yin Khor (they/them) is the author-illustrator of The Legend of Auntie Po, the Eisner-winning and National Book Award finalist graphic novel about a young logging camp cook in the Sierra Nevada telling Paul Bunyan tales, and of The American Dream?, a graphic novel memoir about driving Route 66. They tell stories about nostalgic Americana, immigration, and new rituals. They live in Los Angeles with a small dog and a cargo van.
Kass Gray (he/him) is a freelance illustrator, cartoonist, and recent graduate from the Columbus College of Art and Design. He currently resides in Columbus, Ohio, with a very large cat called Cicero (and his human roommates). He has always had a particular penchant for history in all its forms, and loves to tell stories that capture the forgotten or seldom told lives of the past. This is Kass's first graphic novel, and you can find more of his work online at timemachinesart.portfoliobox.net."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
