Yuval Zommer graduated from London's Royal College of Art with an MA in Illustration. He has worked as a creative director at many leading advertising agencies. His passion for picture books has now won, and he is the author/illustrator of highly acclaimed children's books. Yuval lives and works in an old house in Notting Hill where he overlooks a small garden which is visited by urban foxes, squirrels, birds and many insects, some of which later find their way into his stories. His other favourite places are The Natural History Museum and the Zoo.

"The poetic rhyming text of The Lights That Dance in the Night pairs beautifully with the dance of the Aurora Borealis, and deftly mixes the science behind how the lights are formed with cultural significance and fable. In one spread, indigenous Arctic peoples enjoy the lights and we hear how they feature in their storytelling tradition; and in another, polar bears, and Arctic hares frolic together under the night sky. Author-illustrator Yuval Zommer's unique artistic style brings the wintery landscapes to life in this wonderfully atmospheric book."
