Yolklahoma started as a joke between two sisters.

Pam Baren Kaplan and her sister Lisa spent night after night on the phone inventing a town full of ridiculous chickens. Names, places, terrible puns, stories that went nowhere. They’d hang up laughing.

Pam kept drawing them. The birds became a town, the town grew its own language, and eventually the whole thing became a book. Finding Your Flock is dedicated to Lisa, and it’s every bit as silly as the two of them intended.
