The Naked Streak

Kim Howard is the author of Do Mommies Ever Sleep (LBYR, 2024), which Kirkus lauded as “gently humorous,” and Grace and Box (Feiwel & Friends, 2021). A former teacher, she lives in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband and children.

JAIME KIM was born and raised in South Korea and now lives in North Carolina. Although she was a timid child who was afraid of just about everything, she discovered a sense of serenity in drawing. As a grown-up, Jaime finally stopped being afraid of everything, but kept on drawing and painting. She works with gouache, watercolors and acrylics to create nostalgic and dreamlike illustrations, inspired by childhood memories of her family, as well as movies, art, and the outside world. Her favorite things are the sun, the moon, the sky and stars — which is why they always creep into her artwork. Her debut illustrated picture book, Take Heart, My Child, was a #1 New York Times bestseller.
