About the Author & Illustrator
Author
Michael Jantscher
Michael Jantscher is a drummer, baker, engineer, and overall really cool uncle. Despite growing up in Minnesota, he developed an affinity for southern culture. Learning to play drums gave him an appreciation for rock and roll, jazz, and (of course) the blues. In writing his first children's book, he shows us the soulful wisdom found in unexpected places and the joy of music shared through generations.
Illustrator
Alyson Record
Born in North Carolina, Alyson Record has illustrated independent children's books Adam's Cape; Go God Go; and My Friend, Failure. She also works as a merchandising manager for a band whose members might resemble certain animals (but don't tell them that). With style inspired by her colorful personality, it captures the vibrant, fun, and playful nature found at each character's core. While she cannot be a cool uncle, she does enjoy being the awesome aunt to her nieces and nephews.
