TANYA ROSIE grew up in Milton Keynes in a household filled with Iranian traditions (from her Mum), and a few Scottish ones too (from Her Dad). She currently works as a commissioning editor at Walker Books in London, and loves to write poems and picture books of her own. In all her writing, she likes to capture something of the way it was being a child. She now lives in St Albans, UK.

CLAUDIA RAVALLI was born in New York City. She now lives in Switzerland with her husband and two children. Early on in childhood, she was already exploring her creativity by drawing, and painting whenever she had the chance. Her passion for children’s books is primarily inspired by the magical world she imagined as a child.

They all brought their own dolls, too:
Astronaut Elephant Troll Dinosaur and the nesting dolls which were a sweet, wooden family of five. And  Elsa brought wallpaper cut from cardboard.
Mia wasn’t sure how it happened, but word spread along the street and more children came.
Ren and Riko brought a popsicle-stick bed.
Hazel brought cotton wool cushions.
