Jennifer Eckford is a writer whose books have been published in more than thirty languages around the world. She studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art in London before becoming an award-winning writer, editor and publisher of children's books. She lives on the North Norfolk coast with her young family.

Natalia is an illustrator based in Bogotá, Colombia. She has worked in various visual fields, such as books, magazines and illustration for advertising. Natalia has also enjoyed working on several social projects involving the rural population in Colombia. The inspiration for her work comes from her surroundings, the streets of Bogota, the colours and nature of Colombia and Latin America. She observes passers-by and portrays them with her style of seeing the world. Natalia works in digital format, using textures to give her images an organic touch. Animation has become an exploration that has caught her attention as she is able to bring her illustrations to life with subtle but powerful movements. When she is not drawing, she enjoys riding on her bike and making rugs with her designs for fun.
