Invention, The

Julia Hubery was born in Stamford and trained as an architect. She loves the countryside and nature, finding it a pool of inspiration to draw on in her writing. Julia now lives in Gosport with her husband and three children and hopes one day to get back to doing pottery – once her children have all grown up! She has published 16 picturebooks, translated into many languages, including When Granny Saved Christmas, A Little Fairly Magic and That’s What Friends are For - all with Little Tiger Press.James Munro has been drawing since he could grasp a pencil, and since then has covered everything in his path with his doodles. He lives and works in a pile of paper, pencil shavings and spilled ink in Liverpool, and is happiest having a cwtch on a North Wales beach.
