Um höfundinn
Jenny Russell (Author)
Jenny Russell lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with her husband, two teenage daughters and a miniature schnauzer called Basil. She studied architecture in Dundee where she became really interested in how children use buildings and what buildings might be saying to them. Jenny spent 15 years encouraging and teaching the next generation of architects and she now leads the area of education and learning for RIBA.
Paul Boston (Illustrator)
Paul studied illustration and sequential design at Brighton University. He lists his inspirations as 1950s children's books, antique maps and diagrams, 17th Century engravings, gothic art and Japanese prints, to name just a few. Paul creates all his artwork with his trusted ballpoint pen, which he then scans and brings to life on his computer. Paul's charming depictions of people and places have been commissioned for global advertising campaigns, publishing projects and editorial commissions.
