Linda Meeker is a first-generation Vietnamese American author. Her first book, Thank You, Mama, was based on the videos of her son, Grey, trying new foods with gratitude, which brought her social media popularity on TikTok and Instagram (@greyandmama). Linda, her husband, and Grey live in Seattle, Washington. Sandra Eide is an Asian American children’s book illustrator and surface designer from the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest, but she currently resides in the hot desert of Nevada with her husband and border collie.

Her art is influenced by nature, culture, and the importance of showing all kinds of people in her illustrations. Sandra is represented by The Bright Agency and is a member of SCBWI.
