About the Author
Claire Watts (Author)
Claire Watts has written over fifty illustrated nonfiction children's books on topics as diverse as dinosaurs, model-making, Vikings, superheroes, deserts and maths. She loves to take big ideas and distil them so that they're understandable to a child audience. For every fact you include, you have to ask yourself, 'Will a child understand this?' 'Do I need to go back a step and explain?' When she is not writing or doing writing-related things, Claire works as a learning assistant and librarian in a primary school near her home in south-west Scotland.Yayo Kawamura (Illustrator) Yayo Kawamura, born in 1967, grew up between Germany and Japan. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she moved to Berlin where she studied communication design and now lives with her family. She has been working as a children's book artist since 2001 and has developed and illustrated over 100 books, games and non-books. Her series "Pepe and Milli" has sold 100,000 copies in Germany and over a million copies worldwide.Also by Claire Watts
