Dare to Be Daring

Chelsea Lin Wallace is a children’s author, poet, and former elementary school teacher with a master’s in education. She is the author of A Home Named Walter and Ode to a Bad Day, among other books for children. When she isn’t busy writing for kids, she can be found cheering them on—coaching volleyball, directing musicals, and encouraging them through their ups and downs. Chelsea is scared of spiders, but she dares to save them with a sheet of paper and a cup when they are in her home. She lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband, her daughter, Charlee, and her dog, Lucky. Lian Cho is the author and illustrator of many goofy books. She was born in Taiwan and spent her childhood among the sheep in New Zealand. Lian now works in Brooklyn and spends her days covered in paint and drinking tea. In her spare time, she likes to make funny comics for her newsletter and bake copious amounts of banana bread.
