Maudie Powell-Tuck has been writing, editing, and dreaming about picture books for more than 12 years. She has worked in a children's bookstore and as an editor for a children's publisher, so she can enthuse about kids' books 'til the cows come home. When not writing or editing, Maudie can be found wandering around charity shops with her kids, reading, and watching embarrassingly trashy reality TV. She is forever losing her hearing aids and has dropped her phone 1, 345, 566 times. Miraculously it still works.
Duncan Beedie is a best-selling children's author and illustrator from Bristol, UK. He has been writing children's books for more than a decade, and prior to this, worked in animation for television on online projects. When not drawing or jotting down new story ideas, Duncan is learning Italian and likes to convert scrap wood into furniture (with varying degrees of success).
