Swapna Haddow lives in New Zealand with her karate-chopping, swashbuckling son and her thirtysomething, age-sensitive husband. She landed her first book deal when she won the Greenhouse Funny Prize for her children’ s story Dave Pigeon, which was shortlisted for the Sainsbury’ s Children’ s Book Awards 2016, the Leicester Libraries Our Best Book Award 2017, and the Sheffield Children’ s Book Award 2017. Yiting Lee graduated with a master’ s in children’ s book illustration from the Cambridge School of Art in 2012. She focuses on picture books, delivering whimsical and unpredictable stories, and likes to keep the story simple and the illustration full because she knows children love looking into those details like she did. In her illustration, she mainly uses watercolor, gouache, ink, colored pencils, and whatever else she has newly discovered.
