Saskia Gwinn has spent nearly 20 years carefully crafting beautiful books to inspire kids of all ages. She has worked as Head of Children’s Non-fiction for Bloomsbury Publishing, as Editorial Director for A&C Black and as Editor for educational publishers and magazines. She has written and published award-winning books for every age and on every topic, from how time began to the silliest things in the world today.

Vasilisa Romanenko is a Connecticut-based illustrator, designer and fine artist. She creates paintings and drawings inspired by botany, natural history and textile design. Her artwork depicts the mystery, beauty and fragility of nature through the use of botanical elements, intricate patterns and vivid colours. Vasilisa sees her paintings as windows into a magical world, much like the one she enjoyed getting lost in as a child while reading fairy tales. She creates artwork using both traditional and digital mediums. Vasilisa graduated with a degree in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
