About the Author
KENNY CURTIS has more than 30 years in the Children's Programming as a performer, writer and producer. He is one of the creators of National Graphic Kids' Greeking Out podcast series, which he hosts and co-writes alongside his daughter, Jillian Hughes. Together, Kenny & Jillian have helped develop a number of well-known Kids content offerings for partners and platforms like Pinna, Tinkercast, KidzBop and 8 Pound Gorilla Records. But Kenny may be best known as the human behind the long-running Radio program "The Animal Farm Show" on SiriusXM's original Family Music channel, Kids Place Live. JILLIAN HUGHES is a professional writer with a heart for the kids & family industry. She's a writer for National Graphic Kids' Greeking Out podcast series, and has contributed to other platforms including Pinna, Tinkercast, and iHeart. She also works as a copywriter crafting marketing collateral for numerous industries. While she enjoys working with all her clients, she is especially partial towards collaborating with Kenny - who just happens to be her Dad. JAVIER ESPILA is a Spanish illustrator who has been devouring cartoons ever since he was old enough to sit upright in front of the TV. This had the unfortunate consequence of causing serious inflammation of the brain, rendering him unsuitable for any job that required him to lift anything heavier than a pencil. In recent years, his condition has deteriorated and he is now forced to write absurd and fantastic stories to alleviate the constant pressure on his skull. He lives with his wife and his two daughters, who help him by alternating cartoons with video games.
