Elli Woollard turned to writing after an embarrassing incident in which her youngest son broke Michael Rosen's glasses.

She is now the author of several books, including The Giant of Jum, The Dragon and the Nibblesome Knight, The Great Gran Plan, Dinosaurs Don't Draw, The Adventures of Swashbuckle Lil and a rhyming re-told edition of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. 

Elina Ellis started drawing as soon as she learned how to hold a pencil, or probably even earlier. She is inspired by almost everything - children, nature, fashion, design, music, art, LIFE. Anything can spark an idea! The trick is to notice it! When she is not drawing, she likes to spend time with her friends and family, reading, running, playing squash, dancing, and traveling.
