Ashley Franklin is an African-American Muslim writer, mother of two, and college professor. Ashley received her M.A. from the University of Delaware, which has given her the opportunity to teach and tutor online at the college level from home. While she loves singing (badly), dancing (offbeat), and acting (ridiculous), she'd much rather leave it to the professionals (fearless kids like Tameika). Ashley lives in Arkansas with her husband, Michael, and her own fearless kids, Bilal and Mikhail. You can learn more about Ashley on her blog, www.ashleyfranklinwrites.wordpress.com/ Ebony Glenn is an Atlanta-based illustrator who enjoys bringing stories to life with whimsical illustrations. With a passion for the arts and great storytelling, she aims to create art that brings more joy and magic into people's lives. She also likes to dance and sing but, unlike little Tameika, suffers a great deal from stage fright. Ebony is the illustrator of Mommy's Khimar, written by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and the upcoming picture book biography Brave Ballerina by Michelle Meadows.
