Swish, Swoosh, in the Snow (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781605377339)

Ellen DeLange has been fascinated by picture books ever since she was a child growing up in the Netherlands. In the attic of her home, she assembled a small library and shared her collection with friends and family. As an adult, she started traveling and expanded her library with picture books from all over the world. Ellen also enjoyed inventing her own stories and was encouraged by her daughter to write her first picture book, A Story with a Tail. She always has new story ideas in her head and can't wait for the moment when the text and illustrations come together to make the magic happen. Ellen has a doctorate in medical sciences, and currently lives in Canada, where she loves to walk in the woods with her Jack Russell terriers (who are featured in some of her books), drink lots of tea after a busy day, and sail on the ocean to clear her mind.

Anna Lindsten (Sweden) is an illustrator and designer. She lives in Stockholm with her husband, their children, and their dog Hilla. She studied Art History, Design Theory, and Visual Communication. While working at an art museum, she realized she had to follow her dream and went back to school to become an illustrator and designer. Anna finds inspiration all around her, and ideas often come when talking and listening to her children, walking in the forest, looking at people and buildings around her, and listening to music while doodling. Anna has worked with clients from different parts of the world, designing patterns for clothes, home decor, and stationery. She has illustrated textbooks, children's magazines, and children's picture books.
