Major and Mynah, Project Puffin

Karen Owen has been partially deaf since childhood, and wrote the character Callie in Major and Mynah to reflect who she wanted to be when she was younger – funny, clever and with a special goft to hear something that other people could not. She was brought up in Kent and currently lives in London.

Louise Forshaw has illustrated over fifty children’s books. When she’s not drawing, Louise loves watching animated films, adding to her overflowing ‘to be read’ pile. Louise lives just outside Newcastle upon Tyne. @Munkey_Pants
