Cassie Silva lives in Vancouver, Canada with her partner Jimmy and daughter Lucy. She’s been writing stories since she learned to write. She works as a social worker and has volunteered for over ten years as a wish grantor, granting wishes to children with serious illnesses, as well as volunteering her time as a camp counsellor to kids with cancer and their siblings at a pediatric oncology summer camp. Some of Cassie’s favourite lesser-known holidays include World Laughter Day, Houseplant Appreciation Day, and Hug Your Cat Day. She thinks every day should be Wear Pajamas to Work/School Day. Holiday Hannah is Cassie’s third picture book.

Leila Nabih is a freelance illustrator based in the United Kingdom, with a great passion for visual storytelling. She loves to combine the whimsical beauty of flowers, gardens, and nature with the innocence and wonder of childhood, resulting in soft and timeless illustrations. From an early age, Leila has been fascinated by stories and the magic of bringing them to life through art. Whether working with colored pencils, pastels, or digital tools, she strives to add charm to every page so that the images speak for themselves. When she's not illustrating, Leila enjoys reading, baking, going on walks in nature, or playing video games with her son.
