Yoojin Um

Yoojin Um loved drawing from an early age. As a shy child, who liked to find unusual places to hide, she enjoyed doodling and creating stories. As she grew up, Yoojin began to realise that pictures can communicate in ways that words cannot and decided that she wanted to become a professional illustrator. Yoojin worked as a graphic designer before pursuing her dream of illustrating children’s books.

Zoe Waring

Zoe has always loved the warmth and humour found in children’s picture books and is a little obsessed with cute animals… just a little bit. She also loves drawing, has a rather silly sense of humour and a vivid imagination.

Wendy J Warren

From a young age Wendy has drawn, however in her early years she always drew people wearing ballet shoes as she couldn't do feet very well. Wendy's colourful illustrations are inspired by the people, quirky architecture and natural landscape around her, infusing her work with a vibrant and whimsical quality that captures the imagination.

Victoria Roberts

Victoria Roberts lives in Sheffield with her partner Gareth and daughter Nia.

Wendy Meddour

Wendy Meddour was brought up in the seaside town of Aberystwyth. She loved the sea, but she loved books even more, so she left the seaside to study.

She lectures, writes and reads her books at a university near the seaside in Devon.
