Linda grew up dreaming of being a fire fighter. That was before she moved to Paris, working as a singer and piano player while raising her son. She returned to Britain and got her Fine Art degree at the Slade School of Fine Art, whilst working as a waitress and a few other small things. She then started making children's books, which she thinks is the best job ever! (and would never have made a good firefighter anyway - as she is very short-sighted and claustrophobic). Fiona Lumbers has drawn on anything and everything from an early age and always insisted she would be an artist when she grew up. She moved to London in 2000 to study for an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. A combination of her obsession with picture books and the arrival of her first son led her down the path of illustration and she hasn't looked back since. Amy Sparkes was born in Eastbourne and graduated from the University of Kent at Canterbury in 1999 with a degree in English Literature and Theology. After working for charities and the NHS for several years, Amy left work to raise a family and write whenever possible. She now lives in Devon with her husband and five young children. Amy is a passionate supporter of baby charities and donates a percentage of her royalties to various causes.
