Adrienne Frater began to write ten years ago, but has made up for the late start by writing prolifically. She writes for both children and adults – but what's the difference? She’s fortunate to have not quite grown up. A traveller at heart, she has lived and travelled all over, and it is only now that these experiences are gaining a second life in her stories.

About the illustrator Cat Chapman grew up in Waikato, where her dad was a potato farmer. From an early age Cat has always been an enthusiastic illustrator.

Cat has worked as a product and graphic designer, where she was able to develop her own range of ceramic children’s dinnerware featuring her illustrations, as well as a range of gift cards and a children’s mobile. After becoming a mum, she began working solely as an illustrator. She currently lives in Mt Eden with her family.
