Nancy Dickmann grew up in the USA, where she played baseball, ate hot dogs and read encyclopaedias for fun. She has now lived in England long enough to think that cold and rain are normal, but still has yet to try Morris dancing. Before becoming an author, she worked as an editor and publisher of children's books. Now, with Pushkin the Three-Legged Wonder Cat as her trusty assistant (in charge of lap-sitting), she writes books on a wide range of topics, including animals, space, history, health and explorers. The highlight of her career so far has been getting to interview a real astronaut to find out how they use the toilet in space! Emma Randal is a UK-based freelance children's illustrator. She loves designing characters, detailed patterns and using bright colour palettes. She works firstly with lines, and then brings them to life using an eclectic array of paint, pens, pencil crayons and digital media. She lives near Bristol with her husband and three children. |
