Villetta's favorite thing about writing and editing children's books is marveling at how much can be said in so few words. She lives in London in a tall house with lots of stairs and has some of her best ideas while she's on her way to the kitchen to make strong cups of tea. Her other great passion is soccer, and she is a dedicated supporter of a team that doesn't win very often.Paula Bowles has lived in Bristol for more than 15 years, where she has worked on books with many different publishers. She also enjoys watching and photographing wildlife, and can spend many hours with a pair of binoculars, a DSLR camera, and a packed lunch.
