JILL HEINERTH is a cave diver, underwater explorer, writer,
photographer and filmmaker. More people have walked on the moon
than have been to some of the places Jill has explored on earth.
She has made TV series for the CBC, the National Geographic
channel, and the BBC, consulted on movies, including for director
James Cameron, and produced documentaries, including We Are Water
and Ben's Vortex. Jill's accolades include induction into The
Explorers Club and the inaugural class of the Women Divers Hall of
Fame. She is also the inaugural Explorer-in-Residence for The Royal
Canadian Geographic Society, and the recipient of Canada's
prestigious Polar Medal and the diving world's highest award from
the Academy of Underwater Arts and Sciences.
JAIME KIM was born and raised in South Korea and now lives
in North Carolina. Although she was a timid child who was afraid of
just about everything, she discovered a sense of serenity in
drawing. As a grown-up, Jaime finally stopped being afraid of
everything, but kept on drawing and painting. She works with
gouache, watercolors and acrylics to create nostalgic and dreamlike
illustrations, inspired by childhood memories of her family, as
well as movies, art, and the outside world. Her favorite things are
the sun, the moon, the sky and stars -- which is why they always
creep into her artwork. Her debut illustrated picture book, Take
Heart, My Child, was a #1 New York Times bestseller.
