About the Author

Sita Brahmachari was brought up in the Lake District by an Indian doctor father and an English nurse mother, and her parents' life stories and care for others inform her hugely sensitive and socially aware writing.

Sita lives and writes in North London with her husband, three children, and Billie the dog, and is also involved in numerous charity projects. Jane Ray has illustrated over 60 children's books, working with authors such as Michael Rosen, Carol Ann Duffy, Jeanette Winterson, Dianne Hofmeyr and Kevin Crossley-Holland.
