Nicola was raised by the seaside in beautiful Brighton. She loves reading, dancing, rhyming and turquoise things.

She now lives with her husband in East London and spends her days writing and editing children’s books.

Sarah Wilkins was born in Lower Hutt. The middle child of seven, she dreamt of becoming a solo explorer. Dreaming and drawing, which she loved, go together, so she became an illustrator instead. Sarah works for clients all around the globe and has won many awards for her work. She lives in Wellington, New Zealand, and sometimes in Paris, France, and still likes to explore everything in between.
