A stunningly beautiful and warm-hearted story about the magic of dreams
Frances Stickley grew up in Nottingham and Norwich, where she spent
much of her time making up poems and dressing up her dog. She is a
trained children's literacy specialist and a primary school teacher
who is happiest when she is covered in paint or stuck in a book. In
2017, Frances was the winner of the Bloomsbury and National
literacy trust short story prize 2017. She lives with her family
and a big-eared dog called Babbage. When she is not writing, you'll
probably find her in a forest playing dragons with her
daughters.
Anuska Allepuz grew up in Spain, where she studied Fine Arts at the
University of Salamanca. She has enjoyed drawing and writing
stories for as long as she can remember and her work is driven by a
love of storytelling. In 2016, she graduated with distinction from
the MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of
Art. She likes exploring texture and using mixed media, handmade
stamps and stencilled shapes.
Anuska has worked as a full-time illustrator with publishers in
Spain, Mexico and Brazil, and her illustrations have been selected
for exhibition at the Bologna Children's Book Fair, shortlisted for
the AOI awards and Highly Commended in the Macmillan Prize. Some of
her favourite things are drinking coffee with friends and playing
chess.
