LISA SIRKIS and JOHN THOMPSON are a husband-and-wife author-illustrator team who have worked as creative professionals in various writing and visual arts disciplines for many years. Their backgrounds in copywriting and editing encourage collaboration and revision during story creation. Their illustration and character development process leans heavily on John’s experience in caricature and line work, and Lisa’s faux painting background in color and texture. Laughter is an important asset in their professional relationship, in their personal relationship, and in their parenting toolbox. Their humorous character-driven stories are meant to elicit delight from both children and adult readers alike. Lisa and John live just outside Washington, D.C., and in their non-working hours can be found traveling, hiking, biking, and, of course, laughing. You can find them online at sirkisthompson.com.
