Gareth Peter is an author and stay-at-home dad, living in Nottingham with his partner, two huskies and their two adopted children.

He is originally from a small village in Northamptonshire, where he once ran his own theatre school. Gareth has written musicals, produced a couple of albums of his music, and had a song played on BBC Radio Two. It was the arrival of his own children that inspired Gareth to begin writing picture books.

In 2018 Gareth was selected as one of ten exceptional finalists onto the Penguin Random House Write Now mentoring scheme. Gareth's experience as a parent within a same-sex couple brings a fresh, funny and sensitive perspective to the joys and trials of parenting and family life.

Natelle Quek is a Malaysian-born illustrator who also spent the latter half of her formative years growing up in New Zealand. She now lives in leafy south-east England with her husband, an apathetic cat and a loud-snoring dog. She focuses on children's illustration and loves using bold colours and cinematic perspectives to draw audiences into her worlds.
