About the Author
Joshua Seigal is an internationally renowned poet, performer and educator. His first book with Bloomsbury, I Don't Like Poetry, was nominated for the Laugh Out Loud Award, an award Joshua has subsequently won twice. He is also a recipient of The People's Book Prize, and has performed at schools and festivals around the world, including the Edinburgh Book Festival, the Cheltenham Literature Festival, and the Emirates Literature Festival. He is an Official Ambassador for National Poetry Day, and has been commissioned to write and perform for the BBC. He can normally be found running poetry workshops and performances in schools, either online or in real life. His website is www.joshuaseigal.co.uk. Chris Piascik started his career as a graphic designer at award-winning studios in the Northeast USA before accidentally becoming an illustrator. This strange transformation was the result of his daily drawing project that he started in late 2007 and, in fact, he's still posting a new drawing every day.
