Autor

Maisha Oso is the author of Buster the Bully, Welbeck Kids 2021, and the forthcoming picture books, My Hair Is a Book, Harper Collins 2024, and Before the Ships, Scholastic 2024. She writes stories to empower, entertain, and encourage emotional intelligence in young children. A former strategy & analytics professional from New York City, Maisha is currently working in her most challenging role to date: a stay-at-home mom of three tiny humans. When she is not writing, you can find her wrangling her kids, binge-watching an unhealthy amount of reality television, or belting out lyrics from the Hamilton soundtrack. After living abroad for several years in Africa, Maisha and her family have recently moved back stateside to Alpharetta, Georgia. Candice Bradley is a self-taught author and illustrator, from the San Francisco Bay Area. Her passion today has evolved into a love for storytelling in all its various forms and has led to her most recent studies of Film and TV at NYU's Tisch School of Arts. Candice's hope as an artist is to support the movment of writers and storytellers, redeeming the narrative for minorities and people of color.
