Kat Patrick recently realised she never actually grew up, and so has been trying to make a living as a writer ever since.

Hailing from Blighty, she has written her way around the world, making New Zealand her semi-permanent home after stints in Paris, Patagonia and London. This is Kat's first children's book after finding a kindred spirit in Lauren, having dedicated most of her time to editing, copywriting and interviewing for various publications at home and abroad.

Lauren Marriott is, above all other things, a doodler.

There was never any questioning her career path. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Design, Majoring in Illustration, she has made a successful living of doodling. Endlessly.
