Barry Loser Barry (that’s me) is the keelest author in the whole wide world amen. He’s so clever that he doesn’t even have to try that hard to write his books – mostly he just plays it keel in normal life, then goes upstairs and writes it down and does some drawings.

Jim Smith Jim is the keelest kids’ book spellchecker in the whole wide world amen. He graduated from art school and went on to create the branding for a sweet little chain of coffee shops. He also designs cards and gifts under the name Waldo Pancake. As well as spellchecking, Jim offers a free smellchecking service with every book. These ones stink.
