About the Author
Becca has been writing books for children for over 20 years. They usually tend to be about history, science or nature, although she is interested in everything. I have been working as a freelance Illustrator since 1985, after completing a degree at Kingston, specialising in Illustration. Over the years I've evolved into a fully paid up member of the digital age. After too many disasters with a bottle of ink, probably caused by the cat, I embraced the computer age. My work is heavily influenced by 1950's and 60's cartoons. Most of my images are digitally generated, however I nearly always begin with pencil on paper, creating a 'hand drawn' style.
