Julia Woolf is an animation artist turned illustrator. She spent twenty years working in animation, including twelve years at Dreamworks in the States. However, on having her daughter, the world of illustration began to beckon and a while after returning to the UK, Julia enrolled in an MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University. Julia lives with her family in Kent, near the countryside, seaside and woods. Lily Murray grew up in the wilds of snowy nowhere, spending much of her time making up stories. She has continued to do this in her adult life, and now writes both fiction and non-fiction books for children. Her titles include: Dinosaur Department Store and Hello Hotdog, Monet's Cat and Dinosaurium. Little Bunny's Easter Surprise is her first book with Macmillan.
