Steele, James: - James Steele is drawn to clean lines and modern design. This is evidenced in his work as a graphic designer as well as in his first children's book, The Shoephabet. He marries modern white space with classical colored pencil with ease. When he's not designing or playing with his wife and three children, he can be found carving out his next linoleum print.

Steele, Sarah: - Sarah Steele loves writing with rhyme and rhythm. She got lucky enough to marry an artist, and together they have entered the picture book world, pairing amusing rhymes with classical art. You can find their first children's book, The Shoephabet, at their online store www.theredheads.etsy.com. In between writing moments (and all throughout), she is called "Mom" by three little redheaded Hoosiers, ages 5 and under.
