Steve Sheinkin
During many years spent writing American history textbooks, Steve Sheinkin filled fat files with all the amazing stories and surprising quotes that texbook editors would never let him use. Now he is finally using all that material to write history books that kids will actually want to read. He has also written Which Way to the Wild West?, which relates the breathtaking adventure of America’s westward expansion, and Two Miserable Presidents, the amazing and terrible tale of the Civil War. Steve lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and daughter.
Tim Robinson
Tim Robinson’s work has graced the pages of many children’s books and appears regularly in major newspapers and magazines. He lives in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, with his wife, Marguerite, and their two sons, Wyatt and Luke.
