About the Author

Milly is a self-proclaimed Bad-ass Mother living in Hull with her soon-to-be husband and her beautiful 4-year-old son.

Milly dedicates her time to shedding much needed light into the world via mental health awareness, body acceptance and all round funky good vibes. If you were to look up relentlessly fierce, slapstick and odd humour in the dictionary a picture of Milly would surely be there.

Milly fills her time off with her family finding vegan delicacies and walking her cockapoo, Chester.

Katie Abey is a yellow-haired illustrator human who lives in a teeny hobbit-like house in Derbyshire. She lives with a cat, a hedgehog, a husband and the world's smiliest baby. Her work provides doses of happiness and motivation with a little dash of sarcasm.

She is a big lover of animals and her work often features creatures looking slightly nonchalant, perturbed or even sometimes a bit deranged.

When she is not drawing Katie enjoys going on adventures with her daughter Violet and consuming as many chocolate oranges as humanly possible.
