Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald travels the world telling stories and looking for more great tales to share.

Raised in Southern Indiana, MacDonald still hears the voice of her grandpa when she tells stories. She now lives in Seattle, where she directs the PowellsWood Storytelling Festival (http://youtu.be/vBIBrofWq0A). Her down time is spent on the deck of her Guemes Island cabin. MacDonald is the author of over 60 books on storytelling and folklore topics. See her website for more: www.margaretreadmacdonald.com Deborah is a freelance illustrator, living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. She knew she was going to be an artist when she created a paper maché lion in the eighth grade that grew so large, it had to be transported home in the trunk of my parent's Oldsmobile...with the lid up! After graduating from Academy of Art University in San Francisco, she started her career illustrating covers for the Palo Alto Weekly. Since then she has produced artwork for picture books, cookbooks, magazines, educational publications and licenses her artwork on giftwrap, greeting cards and fabric.
