Maudie Smith began her career as an actor. She spent years perching on scenery in the back of a van, while touring with a small-scale theatre company. She co-devised many of the plays in which she performed and has also written lyrics for musicals, cabaret and a libretto. In children's theatre, she played well-known characters such as Piglet in Winnie the Pooh, Susan in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and the rose in The Little Prince. Maudie has an MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. She lives in a village near Bath with her screenwriter husband and their two daughters. Paul Howard studied a Graphic Design course that specialised in illustration, and worked at the Natural History Museum before becoming a full-time illustrator. Amongst other books, he illustrated the enormously popular The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. Paul now lives in Belfast with his wife and children. This is his first picture book with Oxford University Press.
