Stephanie Stansbie (Author)
Stephanie has been a children's book editor, and then an author,
for most of her adult life. She adores editing and writing in equal
measure and has always worked on illustrated books, where the art
is as important as the word. The books she has written have been
translated into more than 15 different languages. Stephanie lives
in Oxford, England, and enjoys goofing about with her family and
friends, going to the theatre and chocolate porridge.
Frances Ives (Illustrator)
Frances Ives' love of all things drawing started in childhood, when
she dived into an obsession with poster paints and making a big
mess on every available surface. This hasn't changed much. She
still works primarily in water-based media, but these days she
mostly tries to keep it on the paper. Frances takes her inspiration
from the structures and people that surround her, drawing from both
observation and memory. Her most abiding source of inspiration is
still the constant yet ever-changing sky, and all of its colours.
