Author Information

Dan Paley has an undergraduate degree in geography and planning and a graduate degree in science writing. He was inspired to create this book when, looking from the doorstep of his family home at fire on a distant ridge, he reassured his three young sons that expert firefighters were there to help. He lives with his family in Irvine, California. Learn more at danpaley.com. Molly Mendoza explores the complexities of interpersonal relationships and strives to portray those feelings that we just can't shake through their work. From fiery anger to the roar of joy, they depict emotions through mark and color. Her practice over time has expanded into comics, editorial work, painting, and murals. When she isn't telling stories or drawing big tears, she is probably hanging out with her cat, Doodle. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon. Learn more at mollymendoza.com.
