Denise Brennan-Nelson is an award-winning author of over twenty children’s books including Leopold the Lion, Someday is Not a Day of the Week, and the popular Willow Series. She wrote her first book, Buzzy the Bumblebee, after discovering that aeronautically, bumblebees should not be able to fly. She felt it was a wonderful way to inspire people to “bee-lieve” in themselves and their dreams. Denise also shares her enthusiasm for reading and writing in unique school presentations across the country where she encourages both adults and children to tap into their imaginations to create richer, fuller lives.

In addition, Denise serves as a board member on the committee for The Community Foundation for Livingston County.  In doing so she is able to help identify and advise on the needs of the community where she resides with her husband, Bob. They have two children, Rebecca and Rachel, and one dog, Bella who is much more than just a hound dog.

Illustrator Deborah Melmon says:


"Over the last ten years, I have illustrated over fifty children's books which include picture books, readers, and board books. As a free-lance artist, I have also designed greeting cards, gift wrap and fabric. I graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and continue to live in the Bay Area with a nutty terrier named Mack.

My illustration process is a hybrid of pencil sketches, hand-painted backgrounds and textures which I scan into Photoshop and then manipulate digitally. This gives me the ability to submit high resolution art in layers and to also make alterations to the art quickly. I love to create work that is fun and engaging for kids with lots of details and humor.

I love...

Almond milk lattes, bird watching, walking 10,000 steps every morning, living with dogs, online courses, golf, podcasts, Maui, walking barefoot, growing tomatoes, bird feeders, Netflix, problem solving, Irish accents, New Zealand, collecting picture books.
