Barbara Vagnozzi started drawing on the kitchen walls at a very early age. Her parents were not so keen on repainting, so they quickly introduced her to sketchbooks instead. After earning a degree in Modern History and working in Medieval Archeology she decided to become a professional illustrator. Since then, she has illustrated many picture books, published in Italy, UK, USA, Korea, New Zeland and more. Apart from illustrating, she hosts workshops and book presentations for primary school children and teachers. Audra Mariel is a jazz vocalist whose favorite childhood pastime was staging original (often musical) plays in the living room or the backyard. When she isn't performing, she spends her time visiting schools and theatres as a teaching artist. Audra currently lives in New Jersey.
