About the Author
Rachel Greener (Author)
Born and raised in London, England, Rachel works at multi-award-winning independent children's publisher, Nosy Crow, and is both the publisher across the business as well as the author of the award-winning Making a Baby and its follow-up, Growing Up.
Her goal in life is to write and publish books that educate, inform and inspire a love of reading, because by building more empathetic, honest and open readers, she genuinely believes we can build a better world.
Sandra de la Prada (Illustrator)
Sandra is an illustrator from Barcelona, Spain. She studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. Sandra has illustrated several books in Spain but really enjoys illustrating books from other countries - the UK, France, the USA, South Korea - because it makes her feel like she is travelling there.
When she's not illustrating, Sandra loves going to the cinema, eating fried eggs, drinking tea, walking in the woods, taking siestas with her cats, Chicho and Rudo, and reading with her son, Miquel. Sandra works at her studio in her flat in Barcelona while listening to podcasts and drinking tea, with Chicho and Rudo taking naps next to her.
