Author Notes

Kate Klise and illustrator M. Sarah Klise are sisters who began making books together as children in the bedroom they shared in Peoria, Illinois. Their home was always filled with paper, art supplies, and cats, most of whom arrived as strays and quickly became beloved members of the Klise family. Since then, Kate and M. Sarah Klise have created more than thirty books for young readers, many inspired by animals. Kate's books for Feiwel and Friends include Mystery on Magnolia Circle, Grounded, Homesick, and Stay: A Girl, a Dog, a Bucket List, also illustrated by M. Sarah Klise.
