Dr Sheila Kanani (Author) Dr Sheila Kanani is a space cadet, with her head high up in the clouds even when her feet are firmly on planet Earth. Sheila became interested in space and astronomy at the age of 13, and her passion sky-rocketed from there. She has a PhD in planetary science and her favourite planet is Saturn. Her favourite 'work' interests are teaching GCSE Astronomy and giving public talks to audiences of all ages and sizes.Outside of astronomy, Sheila loves to play hockey and the saxophone, enjoys listening to records and dancing like no one is watching with her husband and sons, and curling up on the sofa with an excellent book and her six-fingered cat. Sheila's love of writing began when she was nine and she started a daily journal, which she has kept (mostly) up to date ever since!Ellen Surrey (Illustrator) Ellen Surrey is an illustrator out of sunny Los Angeles, California. Blending her love of mid-century design and vintage children's books, Ellen enjoys finding beauty in the past and colourfully sharing it with a contemporary audience. She's illustrated many books about inspirational people, including Dolly Parton! Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Los Angeles Times. When she isn't working, Ellen enjoys watching old movies and visiting her favourite thrift stores.
