Laura Gehl is the author of One Big Pair of Underwear and the Peep and Egg series, among other books for children. She is a member of SCBWI and the Children’s Book Guild of Washington, DC, and is a frequent presenter at synagogues and Jewish day schools, in addition to secular events. She lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with her family. Lydia Nichols is a redheaded illustrator and anthropomorphizer. She feels very lucky to illustrate all sorts of things, including picture books such as I Thought I Saw a Lion!, My Shape Is Sam, and Space Matters. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with two cats and one human.

The book’s funny premise—llama plus Hanukkah equal Llamakkah— pays off with an entertaining story of a llama family celebrating the Festival of Lights.
