Peter Catalanotto is the author and illustrator of the books, “Matthew A.B.C.” and “Question Boy Meets Little Miss Know It All.” David Wiesner is a three-time Caldecott award winner for his books, “Tuesday,” “The Three Little Pigs” and “Flotsam.” Author Judy Schachner is well-known for her picture book series, “Skippyjon Jones.” Pam Munoz Ryan is the author of the award-winning books, “Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride,” “Mice and Beans,” “Riding Freedom” and “Esperanza Rising.”
