About the Author
Hawys Morgan writes both fiction and non-fiction readers for children. Her understanding of the power of language has its roots in her childhood in north Wales, where much of the population is bilingual. Her own study of other languages, as well as many years spent working in educational publishing, have cemented her interest in reading and language acquisition. She has written over 50 books for young learners. Martin Bustamante is an illustrator and painter from Argentina. As a teenager, he found in movies like Star Wars and books from Prince Valiant to Harold Foster, new and fascinating worlds full of colours, shapes and atmospheres that became his inspiration for drawing. He started working as a professional illustrator and has worked for several editorials and magazines, from Argentina to the US to Europe.
