About the Creators

This illustrated children’s book series was created by author Kim Hoedeman Semones and illustrator Christina Beatrice Berg Renzi who combined their respective creative forces to collaborate on these little books.

Both being invested in all things environment, animals, and mushrooms, the two native Europeans met in Kim’s little Secret Vegan Cafe in Upstate NY and bonded over their love for New Orleans, (vegan) beignets, and Kim’s display of all things mushrooms. They quickly realized how well matched their passions and aesthetics were and put these in the forms of words and art into The Mysteries of Mushy Mushy, apparently having found their long lost partner in all things Mushroom crimes - in the best ways!

They continue to inspire and uplift each other to create more tales and would like for their little superhero mushrooms to do the same for you and your children!
