Ghost Who Saved Halloween

Jen Anyong has dreamed up stories of sorts since elementary school but fell in love with picture books while teaching at her daughter’s preschool. As she read aloud to the children—their faces beaming with wonder—Jen just knew she needed to write picture books! Most of her stories are inspired by her family. Between her mischievous dog, clever daughter, and humorous husband, you'll find them laughing together, work-shopping all of the silliness that makes picture book magic. Jen’s Hungarian heritage mixed with her husband’s Chinese heritage makes for lots of multi-cultural fun and an array of holidays and traditions. When not writing, Jen is a caregiver to her father, a part-owner of a snazzy little jazz lounge, and an active member of her church and alumnae chapter. Jen invites you to find her on social media @jenanyong. Kaly Quarles studied interior design and worked in architecture before finding her way to illustration. She swoons over historic shopfronts, stationery, and vintage ephemera, and her pulse always quickens at the thought of secret passageways. When she's not drawing with a cat in her lap, she’s hunting for obscure antiques, rock climbing, or hosting a one-woman pastry-eating contest. She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with one handsome fella and four rascally cats.
