Originally from Wales, Kate Ware designs and illustrates children's books from her studio in North Herefordshire, England where she lives with her family. She loves gardening, cooking and going for walks with Pickle the pug. She also has a large selection of chickens and four pet lambs named Cookie, Peggy, Rose, and Simple.

Maria Perera was born in Gijon, a small town in the north of Spain. At a very young age she found out that there are few things in life she enjoyed as much as listening to The Beatles and drawing. When she grew up she graduated in Art History at the University of Oviedo and soon after she studied Graphic Design at the Art School of Aviles. Maria still listens to The Beatles and feels fortunate to be able to do what she loves the most for a living: illustration.
