Elissa Elwick is an award-winning children's book illustrator and author based in Cardiff. She worked as a nanny and a bookseller before she started writing and illustrating children's books full time. She loves helping even the most reluctant of little artists find their voice and get creative, and hopes that every single reader of the The Gumdrops knows that their imagination is special, unique and a real life super power! If Elissa had a Gumdrop Power, it would be the ability to make what she drew come to life!

This quirky comic-book tale is a superb celebration of imagination, creativity, fun and friendship.
