Prior to becoming a children’s writer, Laura shared her love of books with her third grade students. After experiencing first-hand the power of story to captivate, amuse, and encourage, Laura knew that she wanted to create books for kids.

Laura is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. When she is not writing picture books about porcupines, pirates, and pickles, Laura can be found on a trail, at the library, or in the kitchen. She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and their two sons.

Jennie was born in London and spent her formative years in Malaysia, returning to the UK at the age of nine. She fell in love with the Norfolk countryside and feels a deep connection with nature and conservation, which heavily influences her work. Jennie studied Fine Art at The Surrey Institute of Art & Design, alongside illustration courses at Central St Martins. She mainly works digitally but enjoys making her own paintbrushes and textures, using any natural materials such as leaves, bark, flowers, and anything else she may find while out walking. She has a love of watercolour and indian inks which make wonderful splatters and splodges! Jennie lives in Surrey with her two daughters and a mischievous marmalade cat.
