About the author

Danson Mutinda's parents, Ruth and Henry Kyatha, cofounded the Hope Development Centre orphanage with Eric and Anita Walters in 2007. When Henry passed away, Danson became patron of the program. He and his coauthor, Eric Walters, worked together to write this story of two energetic and joyful children who are based on many of the children they work with at the centre. He lives in Kikima, Kenya, on the grounds of the orphanage.
Eric Walters began writing as a way to get his fifth-grade students interested in reading and writing. A Member of the Order of Canada, he has now published more than 100 novels and picture books. He is a tireless presenter, speaking to over 100,000 students per year in schools across Canada. He lives in Guelph, Ontario.
