Sarah Walsh is inspired by animals, magical creatures, coffee, music, a good story, her friends and family, bravery, vintage children's books, and mid-century anything. Her illustrated children's books include the Tiny Blessings series. Grace Easton was born in London in 1994. She studied illustration at Central Saint Martins, Brighton University and Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Before becoming an author and illustrator she was a baker, a Christmas elf, and a designer for Penguin Books. She loves gardening and spending time on her Auntie Mimi's allotment, affectionately known as 'Balmoral' because it is the most beautiful allotment in all of Dover (it even has a loo!). Katherine Halligan has written many successful children's books. She comes from a long line of avid gardeners who taught her the Latin names of plants. She has created gardens both big and small everywhere she has lived, in different countries and climates.
