Sean Tulien is a children's book editor living and working in Minnesota. In his spare time, he likes to read, eat sushi, exercise outdoors, listen to loud music, and write books like this one. Sean has loved the legend of Pecos Bill ever since he was a little cowpoke, so turning the tall tale into a graphic novel was a big thrill for him. Sean also thinks cows are really funny, and his favorite animals are manatees, wolves, and eels.
