Author Bio

Jenne Bergstrom was raised by two summer camp directors but spent all her time reading instead of being outdoors. She went to a tiny one-room schoolhouse in a charming mountain town but always dreamed of living in a glamorous big city. Nowadays, she lives in a tiny tiny house in "big city" San Diego, CA, and runs a library in yet another charming mountain town. She is the co-founder of the literary culinary blog 36eggs.com, where they recreate foods and experiences from favorite books. Her favorite Little Women character is Aunt March.

Miko Osada is a librarian for kids and teens, in a suburb just east of San Diego. She lives with her wife and three cats, Figgy, Piggy, and Squeazle. Miko is the cocreator of 36eggs.com. Little Women was one of her favorite stories growing up, and she owns four copies of the book-two in Japanese (her first language) and two in English. Miko is a proud member of Slytherin House, and the March sister she relates to most is Amy.
