Smriti Halls is an award-winning, internationally bestselling children's author whose books include Number 1 bestseller I Love You Night and Day, T-Veg and Don't Call Me Sweet.

She is published in more than 30 languages...and counting. Her stories, sometimes fast-paced and funny, sometimes lyrical and tender, are always full of heart and speak to the child in all of us.

Previously, Smriti worked at the BBC and across children’s publishing and television as a writer and commissioning editor for twelve years. She lives and works in London with her husband and three sons.

Eve Coy always loved to draw. She studied animation at Edinburgh University and became an artist working for Aardman Animation. When they lived in Bristol she would take her first daughter to the library which had a fabulous children's section, placed on shelves inside a boat.

She and her daughter were frequent passengers on that boat, and as they worked their way through the shelves Eve became hooked on picture books. Eve gained an MA in Children's illustration from the prestigious Cambridge School of Art and Looking After William is her first picture book.
