Counting Birds (Quarto), made the NSTA Outstanding Science and the

Kevin & Kristen Howdeshell of The Brave Union are a
husband-and-wife team based in Kansas City and have been
collaborating for 10 years. Most of their work has been in
narrative animation / animated sequences. Now with three kids of
their own, the tradition of the bedtime story has become a pillar
of their nightly routine. As a result, their focus has shifted on
creating art geared for the family.
