I am incredibly grateful to the team at Genius Brands, who allowed me the opportunity to help develop this amazing brand. Thank you for trusting me to create a fun story with the characters and world!
Thanks also to the rock star crew at Imprint & Macmillan—Erin Stein, Nicole Otto, Natalie Sousa, Jennifer Gonzalez, Jennifer Edwards, Jill Freshney, Christine Ma, Raymond Colon, Ashley Woodfolk, and Molly Brouillette—for making this project so much fun.
A standing ovation to Jen Bartel for bringing these characters to life with your gorgeous illustrations.
Finally, thanks to Catherine Clark, Milla Downing, Ruby Downing, Henry Downing, Robin Wasserman, Michael Bourret, and Greg Downing—who all helped with plotting, kept me well fed and full of coffee, and are constantly helping me stay (somewhat) sane. You guys rock.
