Donna David grew up in the West Midlands in a house full of noisy siblings, fun parents, mad aunties and maggots (her dad is a fisherman). She'd often be found reading by torchlight way after bedtime and this love of reading has never left her. Donna has a degree in English from Loughborough University and currently works as an English coach at the local secondary school. She is married to an RAF pilot and she has worked closely with the charity Little Troopers on a series of picture books written for military children. Nina Pirhonen is a Finnish illustrator, designer and children's book author, with a bright, bold and distinctive contemporary style. She has created multiple picture books in Finland, including the popular Leo the Lion series, and her work includes fashion and textile design for Marimekko. Trains Trains Trains is their first book for the Macmillan Children's Books 'Find Your Favourite' series.
