Ellie Snowdon is a fabulous new talent in picture books whose work has a timeless feel with a contemporary spirit. In 2015, she graduated from the Cambridge School of Art with an MA in Children's Book Illustration and was highly commended twice for the Macmillan Prize in the same year. After a few years in London, she has recently moved back to her hometown of Swansea, where she works from her studio with seaside views and her feline assistant, Baggy. When she's not working, you can find her enjoying an afternoon mystery drama while scoffing down some lemon cake. For more information about Ellie's work, please visit her website: https://www. elliesnowdon. co. uk/. Helen Peters grew up on an old-fashioned farm in Sussex, surrounded by family, animals and mud. She spent most of her childhood reading stories and putting on plays in a tumbledown shed that she and her friends turned into a theatre. After university, she became an English and Drama teacher. Helen lives with her husband and children in London, and she can hardly believe that she now gets to call herself a writer.
