Liz Garton Scanlon is the author of many children's picture books, including the Caldecott Honor Book All the World and Happy Birthday, Bunny, which Publishers Weekly called "as memorable and heartfelt as a birthday book gets." Liz lives in breezy, beautiful Austin, Texas, with her husband and her two daughters, who all love flying kites.

Frann's first picture book, The Journey Home, was published in 2012 and was shortlisted for both the Waterstones Children's Prize and the Cambridgeshire 'Read it Again' book Prize.

In 2011, she became the first UK recipient of the 'Sendak Fellowship' and spent a month living with and learning from Maurice Sendak.

She is one fifth of the design group Zombie Collective who specialize in workshops and pop-up galleries. They have worked with clients such as Tate Britain, the House of Illustration, the Design Museum, the British Library and UCL Hospital, creating workshops for both adults and children.
