| Author Kimberly Robison-Crook grew up in the small farming community of Elk Creek, Nebraska, where she started writing short stories and poetry in high school. However, writing took a backseat to a career and raising three sons with her husband, Steven. With the boys now grown, Kimberly and Steven call a twenty-acre farm near Crab Orchard, Nebraska home. They share their farm with one dog, three donkeys, nine Highland cows, three Hereford cows, five cats and ten chickens. An animal lover at heart, it was only natural that she chose to write about the critters that have been a part of her childhood and adult life. While Kimberly enjoys writing and photography, her greatest pleasure is spending time with her seven wonderful grandchildren. Illustrator Kim Heinrichs grew up on her family's century-old farm outside of Everly, IA. She and husband, Jeff, reside in Spencer, IA with their two children Hunter and Kori. They are excited to see what happens next on Happy Meadow Farm. |
