Nancy Gaenzle

Author Nancy Gaenzle was born and raised in a small town in southern Idaho on the Camas Prairie. Her love for wildlife comes from her grandmother Mary Gaenzle who had a special fondness for birds. Nancy, a retired schoolteacher, has one daughter, Marta, and one granddaughter, Luella. The Luella book series is named after her granddaughter. The characters in her stories are named after actual family members to honor their positive influence on her life. Illustrator Paul Bush, originally from Detroit, grew up in Idaho as a child of two engineers. He too had his sights set on a career in engineering but decided calculus wasn’t nearly as fun as drawing. Paul attended Utah State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in art with an emphasis in illustration. While Paul is new to illustrating children’s storybooks, he has been creating illustrations and animations for the health-care information industry for years, including education geared toward children. His work has been recognized and awarded in the industry.
