Author Information

Erin Yun grew up in Frisco, Texas. She received her BFA in English from New York University and is currently pursuing her Masters in creative writing at Cambridge. Erin is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. She developed the Pippa Park Author Program, an interactive writing workshop, which she has conducted in person and virtually at schools, libraries, and bookstores. Yes, she used to play basketball as a middle grader! Jennifer Sun Bell (she/her) is an award-winning actress, singer, and voice-over actor who is passionate about giving a voice to the unheard stories of this world and of our imagination. Being mixed, Korean and American, she found there were so many silenced voices and stories that needed to be shared. A once shy girl who was once told her speaking voice was not good and that she should speak like she sings, she's found that no matter your sound, if you speak from your heart, your voice will be heard and will make an impact. She can be heard as bomb enthusiast Rin in Midwinter Entertainment's Scavengers, a fun singing (insert NDA) in an upcoming Dreamworks animation, and so much more she can't share just yet! She also had the pleasure of narrating some amazing audiobooks, including Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee and What's Done in Darkness by Laura McHugh. Jennifer has also worked in film/TV alongside some of the greats, like Jim Carrey and Don Cheadle.
