Matthew Smith is a husband, father, amateur strong-
man, and telecommunications repair technician who grew
up all over California. He currently resides in Santa Rosa,
CA, about an hours drive north of San Francisco. When
he’s not at work, or lifting heavy things, he loves spending
time with his two young kids, Dax & Dahlia, his wife Carrie,
and his old, wise dog Rouger. Matt has always had a creative
spirit, whether it be in stone sculpture, on paper, or in the
kitchen. When his wife Carrie was pregnant with their fi rst
child, Dahlia, Matt began writing poems for his daughter.
Even in utero, Dahlia loved to be read to. Today, 9 years lat-
er, Matt draws much of his inspiration from Dahlia and her
amazement of the world around her. Her heartfelt
empathy for others, her love for all animals, and
her fascination with diff erent cultures and places of
the world, make her a perfect subject for a father’s
stories -- about a little girl who loves to dream.
Kim Johnson is a Canadian illustrator and designer
based out of Miami, FL. She is a member of Th e Society
of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, Th e Graphic
Artists Guild and Children’s Illustrators. Kim is a graduate
of George Brown College in Toronto, Canada for Graphic
Design and Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand
Rapids, MI for Illustration. She worked in children’s
educational publishing for many years as a designer,
which gave her the insight and inspiration for writing and
illustrating her own children’s books. Her illustration work
has appeared in children’s magazines and she has a beautiful
self-published children’s book, Jungle Dream, available on
her website, www.kimjohnsonillustration.com. Dahlia Jean
is Kim’s fi rst children’s book through a book publisher, and
she has done a superb job building Dahlia’s world in her
sweet watercolor style.
