Martha Mumford has loved children's books forever. Shhh! Don't Wake the Royal Baby is her first children's picture book and she is delighted to be working with Bloomsbury.

Martha loves baking, patchwork and has a mild obsession with interiors magazines (although she freely admits that the ideas she has found therein have yet to be translated to the interior of her own home!). Martha lives in Berkshire with her husband and young daughter.

Cherie Zamazing is a successful freelance illustrator. She graduated from Loughborough University with a degree in Illustration, and started work in the gift-card industry. Three years later, she returned to her main passion - storytelling! She is the illustrator of many beautiful picture books, including I'm a Unicorn Hairdresser, and loves to work in a variety of styles.
