Damian Harvey (Author) Damian Harvey lives in North Wales with his lovely wife, Vicky. He has three wonderful daughters, one brilliant boy and a cat called Polly. He has written more than 130 books for primary school aged children and is busy writing more. When he isn't writing, Damian loves visiting schools, libraries, bookshops, festivals and anywhere that will have him, where he shares stories, talks about writing and gets people excited about books and reading. You can find out more about Damian by visiting http://www.damianharvey.co.uk and follow him on Twitter @damianjharvey Emma Proctor (Illustrator) Originally from Wiltshire, Emma has been making drawing in pyjamas look good since graduating in Illustration from Middlesex University in 1994. Her dedication to her work means she selflessly faces an arduous everyday commute from bedroom to box room to create her designs. Due to her EXTREMELY short attention span, Emma works in a huge variety of styles and mediums. Whilst usually a right-hander, she sometimes draws with her left hand to achieve a looser line style. When she's not drawing, she does voluntary work as an 'Item Recovery Specialist' for her young daughter. She is prolific at locating a gazillion-million-billion items lost around the house...or in the car...or thrown into trees. Emma is a recovering caffeine addict and is skilled at eating Biscoff Spread straight from the jar. She lives in Kettering with her VERY lazy spaniel 'Betty' who offers very little in the way of constructive criticism!
