A retired teacher, Cheryl Dannenbring received her BA in elementary and special education from Augustana College in Sioux Falls and her MEQ in teaching emotional and behavioral disorders from the University of Minnesota. She has written one previous children's book with a focus on animals. The inspiration for My Puppy Gave to Me came from a writing-group session and from her own canine experiences. She had a dog that ate a whole table of decorated gingerbread men! Dannenbring enjoys traveling to Iceland, where she has family and friends. She lives in Duluth, Minnesota, with her husband. Having studied graphic arts and drama at Santa Rosa Junior College, Cynthia Kremsner believes that drama brings the theatrics to her art. In 2009, she was selected as a mentee by Laurent Linn, art director at Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers.
