Taylor Tyng is an American author of fantastical fiction for young readers. His first novel, Clara Poole and the Long Way Round, was called "an engrossing and inventive flight through the skies" by Kirkus Reviews and a "soaring debut with echoes of Jules Verne and Roald Dahl" by Booklist. Its follow-up, Clara Poole and the Wrong Way Up was praised, "as winsome as ever," by Kirkus Reviews. The idea for Sprout came from a drawing by Taylor's daughter who sowed the seeds of this tale.
