Reading Champion: Birthdays

Katie Woolley is a creative and versatile editor and writer who has worked on children's books for all age levels, from board books, novelty books and picture books to non fiction, licensed publishing and educational books and apps. Katie has more than 10 years' publishing experience; she has written, commissioned, edited and project managed a variety of titles for some of the biggest children's publishers, such as Ladybird Books and Hachette Children's Books. Alex Naidoo is a London based artist, illustrator, designer and author, a qualified and experienced teacher and holds a Masters Degree in Digital Media. She is at her happiest when wearing fluffyslippers, doodling and within reach of a giant mug of tea. She works mainly as a digital artist, but will frequently whip out a sketchpad and start scribbling when queuing in shops, waiting for the bus, or when hit by sudden inspiration in the middle of the night. She lives with her partner and their two sons, and they are a family of stationary addicts, bookworms and chocoholics.
