The Power Tool Alphabet

Kat Choppy was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, where she spent her childhood taking things apart and putting them back together, writing songs and running around in the woods. She received her BA from New York University before pursuing a career in children's literature. In her 15 years at Penguin Random House, she's shepherded dozens of books to publication-award-winners, bestsellers, and under-the-radar gems alike. After many years in New York City, she recently moved back to Oregon where her tools are always in high-demand to ease the aches and pains of the hundred year old house she shares with her family.

Jen Taylor is an illustrator, designer, and major caffeine enthusiast.

She has been drawing and painting since an early age and would always be covered in paint. She still draws and paints all the time - but now she does it digitally, so it's less of a mess! She loves traveling and taking road trips to new places in their tiny house on wheels with her husband Marc, and the two best explorers: their corgis, Rocket and Gidget!

Jen has worked on a lot of fun projects, including 'The Golden Girls : Goodnight Girls', 'Flash: the Little Fire Engine', and 'The Brave Little Camper' series.

She loves to draw cars, and anything outdoorsy, but most of all anything that lets her add in her retro flair!
