Meet The Team

The Author

Eileen Grafton

Hi. I’m a writer who grew up around tractors … the big yellow ones that build highways, dams and neighborhoods. The smell of grease still transports me back to the little five-year-old girl who visited her dad and both grandpas down at the Plant. I’ve spent my career writing about tractors and I’m excited to share some of those stories with you.

The Illustrator

Jen Grafton

Hi. I’m an illustrator, set designer, art teacher and story-teller who loves to encourage kids in their own artistic adventures. I earned an MFA in Children’s Book Illustration from the Academy of Art in San Francisco in 2016. Since then I’ve been busy illustrating books, teaching art to kids, and having fun in my art studio.

The Mascot

Bucket

Hi. I’m Bucket, an English Bulldog. I’m packed full of personality. My favorite things to do are eat, nap, dig, chase the pigs and play with my human pups. I’m extraordinarily fast even with these short legs, especially when there’s food involved. At family gatherings, you’ll always find me close to Dabba because he slips me food under the table.
