Robert Ludlow is an Executive Art Director at Random House Children's Books. She lives with her husband, dog, and cat in Hoboken, NJ and Great Barrington, MA. They are all avid soccer fans (yes, the dog and cat too) and enjoy traveling to England as often as possible. Nomar Perez was born on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. He moved to the U.S. at the age of 10, but the amazing colours, sounds, and flavours of his Puerto Rican culture have continued to influence him throughout his artistic life. He studied computer animation and painting at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, and has been an illustrator and designer ever since.
