Gill Arbuthnott (Author) Gill Arbuthnott lives in Edinburgh and has been a published author since 2003. She writes fiction and non-fiction and reckons that being a children's author is probably the best job in the world.

A former science teacher, she loves mixing scientific fact with wonderful anecdotes of people and places. Chris Nielsen (Illustrator) Christopher Nielsen is an award-winning Sydney based illustrator. His work flows from a love of vintage design.

His images have been adopted by wineries, zoos, department stores, radio stations and fish mongers around the globe. When he's not making images or raising children he can be found on stage with his band The Ramalamas.
