Button and Bundle

Gretchen Brandenburg McLellan is a picture-book author and former elementary reading specialist who now devotes herself to writing for children and visiting schools. Like Button and Bundle, Gretchen loved dolls and making clothes and homes for them with her first friend. After living on three continents, Gretchen settled in Washington State with her husband, cat and dog, stunt squirrels, and a doll or two. She celebrates when her children and grandchildren come home. She hopes you too find a home with her in her books. Follow her on Twitter at @gmclellan5 and learn more at gretchenmclellan.com.

Gillian Flint has had a passion for drawing and creating characters for as long as she can remember. A career in illustration was a natural path for her to take. She has worked as a professional illustrator since graduating from university in 2003. Her work has since been published in the UK, USA, and Australia. She enjoys working in a variety of styles, from watercolor and pastels to digital illustration. In her spare time, Gillian enjoys reading, spending time with her family, and pottering about in the garden on sunny days.
