David Wexter is a writer, researcher, and avid maker-up of stories, which he shares with his rapt audience of one: his son, Jacob. They’ll take a book over a screen every time and spend their days raiding the library and playing outside near Durham, North Carolina.

Emily Williams is a writer, editor, and collector of tumbleweeds of dog hair. She’s the queen of answering “Why?” questions with a real answer and has never stopped learning with her three kids, two dogs, and a cat. Together they explore whatever they’re curious about on their farm in Montana.
