Steve Smallman has been illustrating children's books for over 40 years and has written a number of his own award-winning children's stories. When he's not working or visiting schools, Steve enjoys films, television, gardening, and walking in the countryside.

Esther Hernando lives in Barcelona with her partner, her cat and a bunny. As a child, she always filled her school books with drawings, and when she got home she kept drawing. She studied 1 year comic and illustration in Escola Joso and since then she's a self-taught artist focusing on the Children's illustrations. Esther's work is expressive, fun, colourful, and textured. She always works digitally since it allows her to work from anywhere, from a coffee shop to the sofa of her house. In addition to illustration, she likes gastronomy, movies and television, video games and hanging out with the people she loves.
