Noah Sullivan lives in Southern California. He wrote Pants Wars in 3rd grade as a collection of stories for his classmates. Kekoa Schweitzer, a friend in his class, created the illustrations for the book. Mrs. Will, their 3rd grade teacher, shared some thoughts about the book and the class's reaction to it: "Noah loves to write and asked me if he and Kekoa could work together on a story that Noah had started. That was the beginning of the Pants Wars stories. Their classmates so enjoyed the stories that Noah had to make a sign up list for them to take turns reading Pants Wars during class."
