About the Author
Patricia Cleveland-Peck lived in France and Ireland before settling in rural Sussex. She has published fourteen children's books and has also written adult books and plays. She now works as a travel journalist and, with a young granddaughter, she returned to the world of children's books with the bestselling You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus. Hannah Marks was born in Derby, England and grew up in the Midlands. She is a self-taught illustrator and often draws inspiration from anything vintage as well as completely random thoughts that drop into her head... which is usually after eating cake. She now lives in Hertfordshire with her husband, children and a (bonkers) kitten.
