Mary Peterson was born and raised in Iowa on a small farm surrounded by cornfields and lots of animals including mischievious piggies. Those early years in the company of critters large and small continue to provide inspiration for her art.Mary is the illustrator of several children's books, including Ocean Soup, Tide Pool Poems, Wiggle and Waggle, Cat On Wheels, and No Time To Nap. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and 20 lb cat named Sumo.
Jennifer Rofé lives in hustling, bustling Los Angeles, California, with her cats, Dylan and Katsumoto. They all secretly wish they lived on a farm or ranch where Jennifer would raise chickens (which Dylan and Katsu would chase), grow vegetables (which Dylan and Katsu would eat), and ride horses (which Dylan and Katsu would want no part of). Jennifer works as a literary agent for children’s authors. Piggies in the Pumpkin Patch is her first book.
