By Peter Nelson and Rohitash Rao

Peter Nelson is a screenwriter who lives in Los Angeles, CA, with his wife, Diane, and their two sons, Charlie and Christopher. Peter grew up in New England, where he made up weird stories and invented strange games for the enjoyment of his two younger brothers, Sean and David. They’ve never forgiven him for it. Herbert’s Wormhole is Peter’s first children’s book. He wrote it without ever having met an actual alien or traveling through time, which made it a bit more challenging, but just as fun.

Rohitash Rao

Rohitash Rao was born in an exotic, faraway land called Hyderabad, India. He then grew up in another exotic, faraway land called Rancho Cucamonga, CA. He now lives in a magical city on an island called Manhattan, where he works as an animator and director. He makes films with stuffed animals, puppets, dolls, toys, and, when forced to, human beings. Herbert’s Wormhole is Rao’s first children’s book, much of which he illustrated while sitting on a broken stool in his apartment.
