Karin O'Keefe has always loved children's
books, being an avid collector for many years. She was
delighted to help in the co-creation and completion of
Zak's wonderful, fanciful tales. She loves animal
stories, as the creatures of this world hold a special
place in her heart. Karin also volunteers at the San
Francisco SPCA, where she adopted her sweet, little
dog, Bug. She truly hopes the next time you are looking
for a furry, feathered or scaled companion, you will
visit your local animal shelter or contact a rescue
group to find that critter who needs your love. She
guarantees you will receive unconditional love in
return.
Zak Zaikine has been an artist for over 40 years. He

art world including writing books of poetry and now
writing and illustrating children's books. His
first two books, The Magic of Hanalei Bay and
A Mother's Love, have both had a far
reaching success.
