Jung Jinho studied architecture, dreaming of building a house filled with stories. Today, he builds that house within the pages of picture books. He is the author and illustrator of  Look Up!, The Wall, 3 Seconds, and The Nine-Tailed Fox.  His illustration work includes  Yellow Boots, Daddy and Me, and The Little Pond.   Jinho is a two-time recipient of the Bologna Ragazzi Awards, honored in 2015 and 2018.
Aerin Park is a Korean-English literary translator and Korean language educator who believes language is a bridge to people's stories, culture, and history. Her recent works include The Legend of Tiger and Tail-flower  (Levine Querido), Okchundang Candy  (Levine Querido), and Late Today  (Eerdmans). Aerin lives in Roseville, Minnesota, with her husband and three children - her first readers. 

“Illuminating … A clever, tidy story about how so many of our choices are interconnected, from nighttime fishing boats to daycare workers … Engaging fare for resolutely curious kids.”
Booklist

“Award-winning author and illustrator Jung Jinho traces the incredible journey of one banana, from phone screen to front door … Original, informative, and a fun read from cover to cover.”
Midwest Book Review

“[Banana Express] opens our eyes to all the people in all the places who work together so we can eat, do our own jobs, have something to wear, have a subway to ride, and on and on. If you think about it, really think about [it], we are connected to so many people all over the world. They help us. We help them. Wow! That's the kind of world I want to live in—and I do!.”
—Barb Langridge, A Book and a Hug
