Melinda Lee Rathjen grew up in southern Illinois, reading past her bedtime whenever she could get away with it. As an editor at WorthyKids, she still spends a lot of time reading, though stealth and flashlights are rarely necessary. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Rob McClurkan is a storyteller. Sometimes he uses words and sometimes pictures. He has written and illustrated two picture books, Aw, Nuts! and Playdates Rule!, and he has also illustrated a bunch of other fun picture books, like Beware the Flerken and Super Rooster Saves the Day. He lives in Georgia with a dog, two kids, and a wife. He also has a snake in his backyard that says hello every spring. It’s a nice snake but keeps to itself, and Rob likes it that way.

"Love, puns, and s'mores are three of life's greatest pleasures. In this little board book, two competitive raccoons declare themselves to love the other "s'more." The fireside banter crackles with puns, and the silly competition heats up until they finally realize that with all that love, everyone wins. Outdoorsy and camping-loving families will love this book, as will anyone looking for a new way to express "s'more" love to someone in their life"--
