AUTHOR BIO

Teresa Argenbright was lucky to have been raised by a mother who was an avid solver of crossword puzzles and inventor of silly words when the existing ones just weren't enough. She developed her own love for language that has grown through her experiences writing advertising campaigns, nonprofit grant requests, and fun poems for friends and family. Charlotte and Penelope and Their Magical Menagerie is her first adventure into the world of children's books, and more are planned to follow. Teresa splits her time between Fort Worth, Texas, and the mountains of Colorado. When she's not creating stories for her readers, she can most likely be found on the nearest dance floor.

A resident of Chicago, Dan has traveled to many cities, and he always visits their art museums. Though unlike Poppy, he has not journeyed through any of their paintings . . . yet.
