Stuart Heritage is a well-known Guardian columnist, who writes on a variety of subjects but often about family and parenting. His weekly column about his young son 'Man With a Pram' ran in the paper's Family section between 2015-16, and he has also written for Vanity fair, Elle, Cosmopolitan, NME, and the Radio Times.

Born in the wild and windy north, Nicola began her career as an usher, but life by the big screen was too heady and too fast. Instead, she chose to study Illustration in Buckinghamshire, where she developed a passion for children's books that far surpassed her love of popcorn.

She has since had books published here and in the United States, which include Best Friends, Spot a Lot, and Leaping Lemmings. Nicola lives with her family in Cheshire, close to the local cinema where she likes to occasionally lurk in the foyer.
