About the Author

Lou Treleaven's first picture book was published in 2016 and she is now the author of over 20 children's books including The Snowflake Mistake read on CBeebies Bedtime by Suranne Jones. She lives in a Bedfordshire village with her family and likes reading, art, gaming and her cat Badger. Carlo Beranek is a freelance illustrator based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. His work is bold, bright and colourful, and often invested with strong messages that carry forward Carlo's belief in art's ability not only to entertain but also to educate and inspire. If Carlo weren't an illustrator he would have been a chef. He loves reading, listening to music, going to the cinema, and would jump at the chance to move to a big city like London or New York and adopt a dog.
