About the Author

Susannah Shane (Author)
Always one to have her nose stuck in a good book, Susannah grew up in Italy and Bermuda, which made her mix of childhood cultural influences pretty unique. After studying French as an undergraduate, Susannah completed a master's degree in Publishing and Creative Writing. She now lives in East London and works as an editor in children's publishing where she enjoys creating new and exciting books for the younger generation to get their noses stuck into.

Britta Teckentrup (Illustrator)
Britta Teckentrup grew up in a town called Wuppertal. She moved to London in 1988 to study illustration and fine art at St Martin's College and the Royal College of Art and ended up staying in England for 17 years. Britta has created over 40 books, translated into 20 different languages. Britta's illustrations have appeared in magazines, on homewares, clothes and packaging. Britta now lives and works in Berlin with her artist husband, son Vincent, and their cat.
