Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface.

After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.,

Christine was born a little before midnight on New Year's Eve in 1984. She has always loved books and as a child could be found trying her best to draw just like Beatrix Potter.

She went on to study Illustration for Children's Publishing at the North East Wales School of Art and has been illustrating since she left in 2006. Christine has created illustrations for children's books, cards, toys and clothing with companies based in the UK, US, France and Australia.

She lives and works in a Post Office in the Peak District with her partner Ste and Yorkshire terrier, Suzie.
