Before Carrie Tillotson started writing children's books, she worked as a biostatistician. Her job involved counting a lot of numbers (but not many bananas). Counting to Bananas is her debut picture book. She lives in Oregon with her family, two dogs, and two chickens. Although bananas are not her favorite fruit, she loves a warm slice of banana bread.

Estrela Louren o is a Portuguese professional children's book author and illustrator, and also a storyboard artist for animation. She has been living in Ireland since 2009, when she met her Irish partner and their dog, Chewie, who both made her fall in love with the country even more. Her favorite fruit is peaches, but she keeps getting bananas because they're Chewie's favorite!

Praise for Counting to Bananas: An endearing yet opinionated banana makes learning numbers hilarious...Mo Willems fans will give this book one, two, three, four, five stars! --Parents In the tradition of Mac Barnett's Count the Monkeys, Tillotson's rib-tickling debut is not to be missed . . . Lourenco's digitally created illustrations of cartoon fruit with faces and expressive animals are bright, dynamic, and foolish. Fruity fun for everyone. --Kirkus
