Stephanie Stansbie has been a children’s books editor since the 90s and an author since the noughties. She adores editing and writing in equal measure and has always worked on illustrated books, where the art is as important as the word. The books she has written have been translated into over 15 different languages. Stephanie lives in Oxford and enjoys yomping about with her family and friends, and playing capoeira.

Frances Ives’ love of all things drawing started in childhood, when she dived into an obsession with poster paints and making a big mess on every available surface. This hasn’t changed much, but these days she mostly tries to keep it on the paper. Frances takes her inspiration from the structures and people that surround her, and her most abiding source of inspiration is still the constant yet ever-changing sky, and all of its colours.
