Eleanor Pelosi Stephenson has made her home in Burlington, Vermont since 2013. It was there that she had her two daughters, who now fill every day with so much love, laughter, (exhaustion), and more love. They inspired Our Hearts Can Soar. When she's not writing or trying very hard at being an adult woman/mother/wife/friend, Eleanor can be found thinking about the power of love, language, and possibility.
Julianna Brazill is a Vermont-based illustrator and comic artist with a Master's in ceramics (what?) and an obsession with animals, pastries, and anything vintage. When she's not drawing, she can be found working at an antique store, wandering the great outdoors, cuddling a cat, or watching Masterpiece Mysteries.
