Lynne Rickards was born in Canada and has called Scotland home for over twenty years. She grew up reading Dr Seuss books and as a result she enjoys writing in rhyme. Lynne is the author of many much-loved picture books including Lewis Clowns Around, Harris the Hero, Skye the Puffling, Rowan the Red Squirrel, Willow the Wildcat, Oran the Curious Otter and Maisie the Mountain Hare. Lynne lives in Glasgow, Scotland. Abigail Hookham began her artistic career as a game designer before realising that she really wanted to illustrate children's books. She graduated in Children's Literature and Illustration from Goldsmiths, University of London. She is the illustrator of Oran the Curious Otter and Maisie the Mountain Hare (both Floris Books). She is based in Lincolnshire, England.
