About the Author

Ashe de Sousa (Author)
Ashe wasn't born; she grew on a bush. She lived in Paris and Lyon for a bit, before coming back to London to finish her studies at King's College - writing about music, film and politics in the meantime.

She's happiest in icy waters, on her bicycle and sleeping outside. She moonlights as a climber.

At Usborne, Ashe writes books about the human body and stories of the Moon.
