Silvia Borando graduated from the Politecnico di Milano with a degree in Communication Design and works as a visual designer for Studio TIWI, where she loves to explore her great passion for colour. She also heads up (and creates bright, bold books for) minibombo - an Italian children's publishing house dedicated to creating young, innovative and graphic picture books. She lives between Trecate and Reggio Emilia in Italy, and her favourite animal is a hedgehog. Readers can visit www.minibombo.com for lots of fun activities and ideas for imaginative play inspired by minibombo stories. Lorenzo Clerici wanted to be a palaeontologist as a child so that he could discover all there was to know about dinosaurs. As a grown-up, he creates videos and animations for Studio TIWI and is Silvia Borando's right-hand man in the running of minibombo. He lives between Cesate and Reggio Emilia in Italy, and is known as "Dudi" to all his friends.
