Author Information

Michael Sampson taught kindergarten through fourth grade before meeting fellow literacy expert Bill Martin Jr at a conference at the University of Arizona, where he was earning a PhD in Literacy. They established a lifelong friendship and collaborated on many bestselling and award-winning books for children, including Armadillo Antics, Ten Little Squirrels, and Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3. A professor at St. John's University, Sampson worked as a Fulbright Scholar to Ukraine in 2021-22, teaching English as New Language strategies to elementary, middle school, and university students. Bonnie J. Johnson earned her PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She teaches classes in the School of Education at St. John's University in New York City. Dr. Johnson was a public-school classroom teacher for fourteen years. She was the recipient of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Distinguished Teacher of Teachers Award and was named an Eminent Literacy Scholar by The e-Journal of Literacy and Social Responsibility. Dr. Johnson is the author, coauthor, editor of nine books, numerous book chapters and journal articles, and has coauthored more than two hundred instructional texts for elementary, middle school, and adult learners. Joshua Sampson is from a small town in northeast Texas. During the summers of his childhood, he was surrounded by children's book illustrators and authors while traveling the nation with his family to host teacher's conferences. These summers, filled with educators, stories, and songs, helped set him upon a path toward a multi-faceted art career. He went on to graduate with a BFA from UT Austin, and earned his MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Joshua's illustrations are playful and imaginative. Inspired by his love of storytelling, along with the books and illustrators he grew close to as a child, he helps guide the reader through Ogden Oink's adventures in a world quite different from our own. Now living and working in Los Angeles, Joshua maintains a varied art practice involving painting, music, and sculpture. He has worked in film and television on critically acclaimed movies and shows such as Minari (2020), and the live-action reboot of Fairly Oddparents (2022). Now he brings his artistic contributions to storytelling through The Pig, the Elephant, and the Wise-Cracking Bird!
