About the Author

Julie Sykes (Author)
As a child, Julie was always telling tales. Not the 'she ate all the cake not me' kind but wildly exaggerated tales of everyday events. Julie still loves telling stories and is now the bestselling author of more than 100 books for children of all ages and is published around the world. She has recently moved to Cornwall with her family and a white wolf - cunningly disguised as a dog. When she's not writing she likes eating cake, reading and walking, often at the same time.

Sam Loman (Illustrator)
Sam Loman studied Illustration at the Academy of Arts in Rotterdam in the Netherlands (BDes) and Art, Design and Illustration at the University of Hertfordshire. She works full-time from her home as an illustrator/author for picture books and designs products like stationery, tableware, cards and more.
