Daisy's Dragons

About the Author

Frances is a former primary school teacher who first realised her love for writing with the poem, My Dad's Milkfloat when she was six. She is a trained children's literacy specialist and winner of the Bloomsbury and National literacy trust short story prize 2017. Her debut books, Love you Always and What will you Dream of Tonight? were published by Nosy Crow in Autumn, 2019.

She lives with her family and a big-eared dog in Nottinghamshire. And when she is not writing, you'll find her in the forest playing dragons with her daughters.

Nothing makes Annabel happier than a big pile of paper and a seriously sharp pencil. She loves drawing for picture books and creating characters. She uses her experience as a surface pattern designer to bring lots of colour, texture and patterns into her work. She has illustrated everything from Children's books and maps to greeting cards and packaging. Annabel lives in the beautiful Somerset countryside with her husband and a house full of huge muddy boys, a small bonkers dog and a cat that thinks he is a dog. Like a magpie she finds anything shiny almost irresistible. She doesn't like second class stamps or brushing her hair, but she loves a list and a second-hand book shop.
