About the Author

Judith Hughes spends her spare time writing nonrhyming poetry and plotting the family's next year abroad. She lives in Boston with Michael, their daughter, and, of course, Betty and Rita, whose passports and suitcases are always at the ready.

Michael Malyszko has been a photographer ever since deciding in college that his fellow pre-med students didn't know how to have fun. His photographs have been published in 40 countries and are included in the permanent collection of the International Center of Photography.
