Steve Smallman lives in Staffordshire with his wife and the two youngest of his four children. He has been illustrating books for over twenty-first years, and writing his own stories for the past two. Steve has written several best-selling books for Little Tiger Press. Cee Biscoe studied Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, gaining an MA in 2007. She lives in Suffolk with her husband and a small garden full of wildlife, many of which creep and crawl their way into her illustrations. Gruff the Grump is Cee's first book.

Gruff was a bear. A great big bear. A great big, scowly, growly, grizzly grump of a bear. One morning, Gruff the Grump meets a little rabbit clinging to a branch, clutching a fallen star. The little rabbit is trying to rescue all the stars she keeps finding, and needs a big, kind friend like Gruff to help. Gruff certainly doesn't want a friend but the rabbit is rather determined.
