In 1967, Ms. Kahn went to Israel with three pencils, one pencil sharpener, and a tablet of paper. "Maybe I'll start drawing," she thought, and she hasn't stopped since.

Ms. Jules is the author of The Hardest Word, Noah and the Ziz, The Ziz and the Hanukkah Miracle, and the forthcoming The Princess and the Ziz, as well as other children's books. She and Ms. Kahn appear with puppets of the Ziz and Sammy Spider, the characters from their books.
