About the Author
Suzy Senior is a writer of picture books and young fiction, whose bestselling titles include Octopants and Unicorn Club. She loves making things rhyme, and eating jaffa cakes - ideally both at the same time! She lives in Yorkshire, at the top of a very big hill. Mike Byrne grew up on the Wirral near Liverpool before moving to Wales to study Illustration at Glyndwr University. He began his career as a designer for a greetings card company and then became a studio manager for a licensed stationery designer before leaving to fulfil his dream of illustrating children's books. Mike now lives in the countryside with his wife, cat and his two baby sons where he spends his days doodling and illustrating children's books fuelled only by tea and biscuits
