Dustin Luby Author/IllustratorDustin Luby is the father of two beautiful princesses that simply adore him. They follow him around constantly and the laughs are never far behind. When he is not creating new stories, Dustin spends his time with his wife and being a best friend to his children, playing harder than they do.
Dustin has always been a "wise guy" kid that just grew bigger. He has always had artistic talent. At four years old, he was accused by his mother of tracing one particular pink bunny. Through school, he breezed through art classes and school projects and has also won a number of creative awards. He later began writing due to the arsenal of humorous material that his own children supply. Among many other projects, Dustin now specializes in funny or "Jolly Books" that teach children to laugh and dream.
Dena Messer Author
Dena Messer, the oldest of three children, hasn't changed much since she was a kid. She has always had a huge imagination and heart to go with it. She has kept journals and poetry books ever since she learned to write. As a young girl, she once witnessed a caterpillar climb a tree to eat. After overcoming his struggle to the top, she saw him only get one bite before falling below. Instead of keeping it to herself, Dena wrote it down. Over the years she continues to nurture her gift and pulls her material out of every day life. She will continue to write memorable stories until her hands no longer will. Then I suppose, she'll record them.
