Kim Kane was born in London in a bed bequeathed by Wordsworth for 'a writer, a dancer or a poet'. Despite this auspicious beginning, she went on to practice law.

Kim's picture book Family Forest was shortlisted for the 2011 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Awards and her other picture books have all been notable books.

Awards for Kim's novels include Inky, Davitt, Speech Pathology and ABIA shortlistings, a WA Premier's Book Awards honorary mention, and winning the Barbara Ramsden Award.

Kim lives with her family in Melbourne. She writes whenever and wherever she can.

Sue deGennaro is a best-selling author and illustrator. She has worked with top calibre authors such as Ursula Dubosarsky and Jackie French, as well as writing and illustrating many of her own critically acclaimed titles, including The Pros and Cons of Being a Frog, which was shortlisted for the CBCA Early Childhood Book of the Year in 2013. The Tomorrow Book, written by Jackie French and illustrated by Sue deGennaro, won The Environment Award for Children's Literature in 2011.

Sue's illustrations are lively and fun – often imbued with humour, but also a wonderful softness. She spent years working as a trapeze artist in the circus, plus a stint in a lolly shop, so she knows all about what kids like. She’s held many highly successful workshops with school children through Booked Out, and also teaches writing and illustration to adults.
