Danielle McLean is a children's book writer and editor, living in London. She is mom to Olive and Henry, who are her biggest fans, and who love books as much as she does. She's written books about a lot of fun things like magical mermicorns, mysterious sparkly poop, friendly fungi, and much, much more.

Beatrice was born and raised in Bologna, Italy, where she still lives and works as a freelance illustrator, author, and visual artist. She lives with a sassy, chubby black cat named Lapo, who often appears in her works, sometimes as the star, sometimes as a photobomber. Music is an integral part of Beatrice's personal and professional life, and since the age of 19, she has been a DJ, constantly growing her vinyl collection.
