Isabel Pope is a children's book author and editor from Colchester, Essex. Starting out as an artist's agent, Isabel soon moved to London and began writing stories for children's picture books and board books. Isabel's stories are written to be read aloud at bedtime, or shared with a friend during quiet play time.
Following in the footsteps of many artists in her family, Natalie Merheb studied fine art at university. For several years she worked in graphic design, but after the birth of her daughters, she began illustrating digitally. She loves illustrating nature, animals and recreations of classics. She now lives in Dubai, a city of perpetual heat and sun, with her husband and daughters. When she's not illustrating, you might find her horseback riding in the desert, trying a new recipe out in her kitchen or at the beach with her family.
