Sheryl lives in Liverpool with her husband Phil and four children Sean, Bethany, Joey and new arrival Katy. Having completed a degree in English and Psychology she enjoyed working as a Primary School Teacher before going on a career break to bring up her young family. This also allowed more time for her passion of writing. Sheryl's literary influences include Enid Blyton -whose books she loved as a child and now enjoys reading to her own children.
She also admires the work of Julia Donaldson. However her greatest influences are her children - who provide the inspiration and ideas for most of her stories. Emma Allen is a freelance Illustrator based in Kent. Emma enjoys illustrating a variety of subjects, but perhaps most of all children, animals, quirky characters and the natural world, from tiny toadstools to towering trees. Emma illustrates digitally, with a background in traditional watercolour techniques, and finds great enjoyment in the little details and quirks that bring an illustration to life.
