About the Author

Author Bio 29 years later Brian Gioia hasn’t stopped talking, writing and sharing stories. He always has something to say as he currently shares those words through various outlets. He truly believes that every person has a worthy story to tell. Brian lives in the great city of Chicago where he enjoys spending time with his friends. When he’s not singing in his car, he often travels to Las Vegas to visit his recently retired parents. Illustrator Bio Born and raised in the windy city of Chicago, Ashley Fessenden has loved drawing as long as she could remember. The passion started from seeing her mother and uncle draw when she was young. Though their art drive has passed, art has become a big part of Ashley’s life. It wasn’t until attending Columbia College Chicago that she realized her desire to do art for children’s books. Though her usual art style borders on the cute and creepy, she loved the opportunity this book has given her to enhance her abilities. There’s no telling what the future holds for this growing artist, but if she can be part of something that brings joy to a child the future looks bright.
