From the back cover: Michele Valeri is a singer, songwriter and children's entertainer. Her years of teaching and performing have brought her to every kind of stage – from elementary school auditoriums to the Smithsonian Institution, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the White House. She has produced, composed and performed two award-winning children's records; the second, Mi Casa Es Su Casa, was placed on the Parent's Choice Magazine list of best records for 1981 and featured on Good Morning America. She is presently the Artist in Residence for the Community Service Division of the Wolf Trap Foundation.

Michael Stein, actor, musician and singer/songwriter, has performed in many different areas of the entertainment world. As a teenager, he played the role of Peter in the original Broadway cast of Jesus Christ Superstar. After performing in Dude, another Broadway show, he toured in Tommy, the rock opera by The Who. He has also performed at the White House, Wolf Trap, the Smithsonian Institution and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
