Zanib Mian (Author) Zanib Mian's books have featured on BBC's Cbeebies Bedtime Stories and The Guardian for their contribution to diversity in children's literature. Zanib studied Molecular Cell Biology at University College London and went on to teach Science in secondary schools before she made the decision to give up the career to create change within children's publishing.

She launched Sweet Apple Publishers with a clear commitment to publishing inclusive books, many of which she has authored herself. She regularly features in the Bradford Literature Festival, was commissioned to write an opera for The Mahogany Opera Group, and is also on the panel of judges for the prestigious Young Muslim Writers Awards. Kyan Cheng (Illustrator) Kyan Cheng is currently residing in Bristol with her husband and furbaby pup. One of her favourite things to do growing up was drawing characters from books and tv shows. She now has fun creating her own characters and continues to explore her favourite themes which include nature, food and all creatures great and small.
