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.

Alison Brown grew up in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and studied art at Manchester Metropolitan University, and Liverpool John Moores University, and Goldsmiths, University of London.

Before becoming a full-time illustrator and writer, she taught English, worked in a bookshop, and designed holiday displays, among other things.

She credits her love of comics and cartoons—particularly Peanuts by her hero Charles M. Schulz—for her path toward a career in picture books. Brown works with publishers around the UK, and her books have been published in many different languages
