About the Author

Phoenix Bright believes in inspirational and aspirational children's books. Bright has researched countless future careers and has enjoyed writing about them all in the Future Me series. Phoenix Bright is based in London. Patricia Pessoa is a Brazilian illustrator based in the west of England. She shares a small studio filled with gouaches, acrylics, crayons, and coloured pencils with her three very artistic cats. Her work is heavily inspired by nature and naive art, and it's full of texture and brushstrokes. Although she’s been working with digital illustration for years, Patricia finds true joy in the unpredictability of traditional media. When she's not working, Patricia is finding a new skill to learn, usually some craft that involves needles and threads!
