PAULA METCALF is a successful author and illustrator; she decided on her career when she was 16, and graduated with a First Class Honours degree and an MA in children's illustration. She was the first Illustrator-in-Residence at the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Buckinghamshire and is a visiting lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, where she teaches Children's Book Illustration. This book is very close to Paula's heart; she is the middle sister, so knows all too well about being the younger as well as the older one.
Newcomer SUZANNE BARTON is a recent graduate of the Cambridge School of Art. Married with two children, she's been developing this as-yet unseen style that proves less really is more.
