The House Before Falling Into the Sea

Ann Suk Wang, born in Korea, is a graduate of UCLA and Boston University in mass communications and a former journalist. Currently she’s an advocate for adopting children, the parent of an adoptee, and the president of an organization that worked with teen foster girls and now families on the brink of being unhoused. When Ann’s not writing, reading or listening to podcasts, she’s most likely jazz dancing, roller skating, praying with moms, tending her butterfly garden, or eating doughnuts in California with a husband, two sons and a canine son.

Hanna Cha is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. She is the author-illustrator of Tiny Feet Between the Mountains, and has illustrated Circle Round by Anne Sibley O’ Brien and The Truth About Dragons by Julie Leung. Hanna spent her childhood in Korea and America—both countries a dear home to her. She currently lives in Boston, where she loves crinkling her nose in the early morning breeze as she paints in soft washes while daydreaming more stories. Sometimes you can see her doing this with her big tiger-like cat right on her lap. Visit her online at hannacha.com.
