Big Questions, Big World: Why do we need rules?

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! Andrés Landazábal is an illustrator and art-director based in Colombia. His work has appeared in animation films, TV shows and print companies. Andrés' love for drawing and painting was instilled at a young age reading classic illustrated children's books.
