Jeremy Tankard is the bestselling author-illustrator of the Grumpy Bird picture books. He has loved all things Shakespeare ever since his high school drama teacher casted him in a production of The Tempest. This book sees these two interests collide in the most unexpected ways. He lives in Vancouver with his wife and two children (one of whom is Hermione!). Hermione Tankard discovered her love of Shakespeare in the fourth grade when she asked her father (see above) to buy her a copy of Romeo and Juliet. Little did she know it would one day lead to a job writing new Shakespearean adventures with her dad. When not helping her dad with this book, she enjoys acting and singing on stage. This is her first book.
