Biographical Note:
Sophie Blackall has illustrated dozens of beautiful books, including the New York Times bestseller Farmhouse and the Caldecott Medal-winning titles Finding Winnie (by Lindsay Mattick) and Hello Lighthouse. She is also the founder of Milkwood, a creative retreat in the Catskills, where there are many vintage rag rugs, all made of scraps of clothing once worn by real people with stories of their own. She lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York, and invites you to visit her on Instagram @sophieblackall.

Phoebe Wahl is an award-winning illustrator and surface designer. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and has published celebrated picture books, including Little Witch Hazel and Sonya's Chickens. She lives with her family in Bellingham, Washington, where her children play on a rag rug braided by their great-grandmother. She invites you to visit her on Instagram @phoebewahl.
