Stephanie Clarkson (Author) Stephanie always wanted to be an author, but she didn't start being an author until she was really quite old because she was busy doing other things (and also because she was bit scared in case she was rubbish). Some of the other things Stephanie did before she began writing books include: teaching English to grown-up French people, running a photography agency in New York and working as a journalist in London. Stephanie now juggles freelance commissions for the British press with writing for children. When she's not writing, she enjoys working with schools to promote literacy and the love of reading. She runs a book club at Wallace Fields Junior School in Epsom and is Patron of Reading for Clapham Terrace Primary in Royal Leamington Spa. Stephanie lives in Surrey with her husband, two daughters and Bob the Golden Retriever. Bob is the most hairy but least mischievous member of the family.Gwen Millward (Illustrator) Gwen Millward works from her bijou studio in the infamous Centrespace Studios in Bristol. She has been illustrating and writing Children's books since she graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2002. More recently she has worked with the Barbican designing and illustrating their children's activity sheets and guides for the Culture Mile. Gwen has a young son who is the inspiration for pretty much all of her drawings.
