Sinopsis:

Acerca del autor: Tom Jackson has been a writer for more than 20 years. He has written more than 100 books and contributed to many more, covering everything from axolotls to zoroastrianism. His specialties are natural history, technology and all things scientific. Tom studied zoology at Bristol University and has had spells working in zoos and as a conservationist. He’s mucked out polar bears and fed the penguins, planted trees in Somerset, surveyed Vietnamese jungle and rescued wildlife from drought in Africa. Writing jobs have also taken him to the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon rain forest, the coral reefs of Indonesia and the Sahara Desert. Today, Tom lives in Bristol, England, with his wife and three children, and can be found mostly in the attic.

Dawn Cooper is an illustrator based in a leafy suburb of Bristol. She is represented by The Artworks illustration agency, and works from both her home and a friendly shared studio in central Bristol. Her work includes nonfiction books for children, book covers, maps, and packaging, all heavily inspired by the natural world and its many creatures, as well as traditional botanical drawings and works of fiction.

Dawn graduated from Bath School of Art & Design with a first class degree in graphic communication, and has rarely been apart from her pens and paper since. She currently creates her work digitally, hand-drawing directly onto a tablet to make multi-layered illustrations with lots of color and found textures.
In the rare moments when she’s not drawing, Dawn likes nothing more than a long, rewarding walk with her camera or browsing a book shop or two.

Adam Linley studied design and illustration at Newcastle and has also trained as a teacher. Before becoming a freelance illustrator, he spent many years as a graphic designer in the greetings industry, working on everything from signage and packaging to cuddly toys and cards. Since then, his illustrations for books have been published all over the world.
