Stacey McCleary
Stacey McCleary is, was and always will be a children’s author… It has been this way ever since she faked illness during primary school to write stories on her enormous yellow typewriter at home. When Stacey is not writing in her pyjamas, she’s daydreaming about what she will next write in her pyjamas. She lives in Melbourne, Australia with her daughter, a dog, two guinea pigs and a goldfish named Rod Stewart.
Stella J Jones
Stella J Jones lives in Yorkshire. She loves baked beans and chocolate (but not together) and building ramshackle bookcases for her far-too-big collection of picture books. On sunny days, you can find her practising yoga al fresco out on the Yorkshire Dales and on rainy days, tucked up on the sofa with her two guinea pigs, Pinky and Perky.
Stephanie Shaw
Stephanie lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the United States in Oregon. Drawing from the fields and forests of the area, she loves creating lyrical stories for the nursery.
