Author Information

Keith Brockett danced professionally for more than twenty years. He also appeared as a singer and actor from time to time, in musical theater productions, plays, choral concerts and theme park stage shows. Developing these various talents was a real challenge for Keith, and some funny, farcical and frustrating situations frequently arose as he strove to become an ever-better performer. At times he felt just like poor Ollie the Ogre did - clumsy and cloddish - but nevertheless, doggedly determined! Keith lives in New York, New York. Joseph Cowman, although born in Westminster Maryland, has spent most of his life among the mountains, lakes, and rivers of Idaho's Treasure Valley. He has illustrated numerous picture books, including The Poo Poo Fairy, Noah Chases the Wind, and The Nutcracker's Night Before Christmas. Joseph shares his Boise, Idaho home with a school teacher (his wife), two daughters, a son, and a mischievous basset hound. When not illustrating, he can be found throwing a Frisbee, slacklining, or skipping stones alongside the kids.
