Perry Emerson

Perry is a writer and editor at Little Tiger Press, where he works mostly on picture books and sometimes on novelty books. When he’s not making books, he spends his time playing music and discovering new restaurants. Perry lives in London with his partner and their much-too-fluffy cat.

Peter Bently
Peter Bently went to ten different schools around the world and studied languages at Oxford University. He started writing for children soon after becoming a parent and now lives with his wife, Lucy, and children, Theo and Tara, in Devon (which has its very own excellent medieval castle). Peter won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2011 with Cats Ahoy!.
Penny Neville-Lee
Phil Alderson
Phil Alderson became an illustrator after his early aspirations to be a cool musician dwindled due to the premature loss of his hair in his twenties. Luckily, he was very good at drawing pictures, so he has enjoyed a more successful career in illustration. Phil now revels in being a totally uncool dad to his young daughter and no.1 fan.
Prisca Le Tandé

Prisca is a child of the disco era – so dancing queens and grooving cats are right up her street. She sees the world of illustration as a dessert trolley laden with your favourite things. Why not taste everything – you can always go to the dentist afterwards. After studying Applied Art at school, she enrolled in a film studies degree and embarked on an adventure into the world of animation. She is still living the adventure, as the author and artistic director of the animated series ‘Grosha and Mr B’.
When she was young, Prisca adored the craft craze, Scoubidou. It’s that same simple creativity that gives her such joy now that she’s creating books for children.
