Laura grew up in Canada with a passion for stories. She followed this passion to attain an Honours BA in English and then moved abroad to Wales for an MA in Creative Writing and an adventure - and she never left!

She now lives in a lovely coastal town in South Wales with her husband, son and big basset hound and has been writing and editing award-winning books for adults and children for the last ten years.

She loves finding special stories to tell in the everyday, relatable world of a child (or dog).

Kay Woodward has written over 150 fiction and non-fiction children's books in three different countries and using three different names.

She writes books that are funny and books that aren't, but tell the reader all sorts of Very Interesting Things. She has been published by Puffin, Scholastic, Andersen Press, Carlton, Wayland and many other UK publishers.

Her specialist subjects are chocolate, survival skills, ice skating, history, science, bad jokes, Roald Dahl and lightning.

Richard Watson works with the Foresight Practice at Imperial College London and regularly lectures at London Business School. He is the author of Future Files, which has been published in 15 languages, and the publisher of What’s Next, an online report that documents new ideas and trends.
