About the Author

Weldon Owen is an imprint of Insight Editions, a publisher of illustrated books on food & drink, photography, music, and popular culture. Elegant and informative, Weldon Owen titles showcase the best of art, photography, and design in exquisite presentations of the bookmaker's craft. They are located in San Rafael, CA. 

Catherine Ard has written children’s non-fiction books on all kinds of subjects, ranging from astronauts and the weather to robots and wildlife. Passionate about wild places, she brings her love of the natural world to her writing with lively and engaging text to inspire young readers.

Commercial artist Mat Edwards draws inspiration from the things he sees in daily life. He can create everything from modern to vintage designs, with the power of precision and repetition as key to the appeal of his works. Mat has been passionate about art since childhood, and counts artists such as Chris Foss, Tim White, and Rodney Mathews among his early inspirations. While his talent and eye for detail is a constant, his technique has evolved from using purely traditional materials such as pencils, gouache, stretching paper to using almost all-digital methods. He lives in the United Kingdom.
