Rory the Little Red Deer

Lynne Rickards was born in Canada and has called Scotland home for over twenty years. She grew up reading Dr Seuss books and as a result she enjoys writing in rhyme. Lynne is the author of many much-loved picture books starring Scottish wildlife, including Skye the Puffling, Oran the Curious Otter, Willow the Wildcat and Rowan the Red Squirrel. Lynne lives in Glasgow, Scotland. Jonna Dempsey is a Scottish children's author and illustrator whose work is rooted in nature. She had a successful career as a psychotherapist, but motherhood inspired her to change her career and study Children's Book Illustration at Leith School of Art, Edinburgh. Jonna specialises in narrative non-fiction but also loves traditional stories and folklore. She lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.
