Claire Freedman lives on the Essex coast. She is the author of a number of children's books, and has also written for Little Tiger Press. When not writing, Claire spends her time sailing, walking in the countryside and, when she can, travelling. Jo Parry trained at Bournemouth Arts Institute before becoming a full-time artist. She illustrates mainly greetings cards, fine art and children's books, adapting her fun, colourful style to each of these genres. She creates her characteristic style using an Apple Mac, and is fulfilling a life-long dream working as an illustrator.
