About the Author

Annie and Gilly DeCosta live in Royalston, MA with their two daughters, Maizy and Charlie. During the pandemic, the DeCosta family dreamed up Maizy & Charlie’s Germ Book as a way to teach children to be cautious of germs. Annie and Maizy created the story and presented it to a classroom over Zoom. After it was positively received, Gilly went to work on the illustrations, deciding the book could help countless children if it were published. The book is published in loving memory of Annie’s father, who passed away from cancer in April of 2022.
