About the Author
Steven McRae is an Australian ballet dancer. He is known for his work as a principal dancer with the Royal Ballet and portrays Skimbleshanks in the 2019 film adaptation of Cats. McRae has performed as a guest artist with companies including American Ballet Theatre, National Ballet of Canada, Australian Ballet, Tokyo Ballet and at numerous international galas. His awards include the 2006 Emerging Male Artist (Classical) and the 2011 Best Male Dancer awards at the Critics' Circle National Dance Awards. In 2014 he was named Young Australian Achiever in the UK by the Australia Day Foundation. He lives in London with his young family.
Margaux Carpentier is an image maker and storyteller working mainly in London, sometimes in France, and further away. She creates pictures using a symbolic language, so each piece can be read by all, in many different ways. Her work is inspired by the infinite combinations of colours offered by the world; her images transcribe the choreography of living. She works on varied projects, from large murals, installations and paintings to detailed book illustrations, and even toys!
