Linda Meeker of @greyandmama stumbled upon social media popularity as she shared sweet videos of her son Grey learning to say thank you. Expressing gratitude was a value instilled in Linda as a child raised in a Vietnamese family, so she was delighted that the simple act of her toddler saying thank you received such a reaction on TikTok and Instagram. Linda, her husband, and Grey live in Seattle, Washington.

Sandra Eide creates soft and sweet illustrations with an emphasis on characters and connections. As a child, Sandra either had her head in a book or was crafting and doodling her own stories. She is endlessly inspired by animals, nature, and friendships. Sandra lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and border collie.
