Paula has been writing and illustrating for a very long time. Her parents still own an early original illustrated poem, the short but pithy 'Pin In Tin' (age 4). She went on to study illustration at degree and MA level at the Cambridge School of Art.

She is currently a visiting lecturer on the Children's Book Illustration MA there. In 2007, Paula was the first illustrator-in-residence at the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Great Missenden, Bucks.

Sholto trained to be a painter, but his talent for drawing led him into illustration.

He's happiest when he can take an idea and turn it into a picture.

Cycling is one of Sholto's main passions and for a while he even thought of becoming a professional.

Stuart Trotter is an experienced children's illustrator/storyteller. He has been the official Rupert artist since 2008.
