Yoojin worked as a graphic designer before pursuing her dream of illustrating children’s books.

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.
