At Meena’s age, Karla Manternach was a smudgy kid in tube socks.
She once stopped an entire parade by running in front of a fire
truck for candy. Karla liked every subject in school but always
loved writing best of all. Today, she is a freelance writer who
creates books for young readers. Karla lives with her family in
small-town Wisconsin. Her favorite color is orange.
Mina Price is an American illustrator and designer. She has a
particular affinity for character design and lifestyle
illustration, or basically any project that allows her to draw
interesting people in cool outfits. She enjoys finding ways to
seamlessly marry traditional and digital art, going from scanner to
Photoshop to printer to paint and back again. Mina graduated from
the Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in illustration.
Now she is a freelance illustrator and designer who does
everything from editorial to publishing work and all that’s in
between. When she is not drawing, Mina can frequently be found
baking things with lots of sugar or getting way too emotional over
a good book.
"If Harriet M. Welsch had a literary little sister, it would be
offbeat Meena. Meena's escapades will rescue readers from
boredom."
