Jane is the author of over 70 books for young children, including the award-winning Gilbert the Great series and Stuck in the Mud. She's also a children's poet, so she's thrilled to bits to have three new rhyming picture books with Nosy Crow. Jane enjoys visiting nurseries and primary schools, and loves animals, country walks, fossil hunts, meeting up with her sons and their families in the UK and USA, and having fun with her grandchildren.

Charles Fuge's picture book debut won both the Macmillan Prize and the Mother Goose Award.

Since then he has illustrated more than thirty picture books, including the bestselling Little Wombat stories.

He lives in Dorset with his partner, Sarah, and their son Ollie.
