About the Author

Lu Fraser worked for many years in children's brand licensing before heading off to the country to start scribbling children's books in her wonky hut at the end of the garden. She is an incredibly exciting new picture book talent and this is her second book with Bloomsbury, following The Viking Who Liked Icing. Lu lives in Hampshire with her husband and young daughter. Sarah Massini studied Graphic Design in Manchester and followed careers in corporate design and children’s book design before settling down to pursue her life-long dream of illustrating books. Sarah's first picture book for Bloomsbury was Kiss It Better by Smriti Prasadam-Halls. She lives in Sussex with her husband, Peter, and her dog, Coco.
