Jane Yolen has received numerous awards for her writing,
including the Golden Kite Award, two Christopher Medals, and both

Hatfield, Massachusetts, and St. Andrews, Scotland.
Rebecca Kai Dotlich is the author of more than a dozen
poetry and picture books, including When Riddles Come Rumbling and
Lemonade Sun. She gives presentations and poetry workshops to
students, teachers, librarians, and writers across the country. She
lives near Indianapolis, Indiana.
Matt Mahurin is the illustrator of My Beautiful Child by
Lisa Desimini. He is also a photographer, whose work is in the
permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a
filmmaker, who has made over 100 music videos and three feature
films. He lives in Northport, NY.
"Yolen and Dotlich refashion 15 classic fairy tales into incisive poems told from dual perspectives. . . Mahurin's inky illustrations make theatrical use of dimension, light, and shadow as the characters bound from their expected roles." —Publishers Weekly
