Author Biography

James created Katie's Picture Show over twenty years ago as a way to share his enthusiasm for art with children. His series of Katie books is much-loved and respected as an early introduction to art. Ella Bella Ballerina and the Sleeping Beauty was James's first title featuring the budding ballerina Ella Bella, with illustrations that capture all the beauty and elegance of the ballet. James lives in Hertfordshire with his wife and son. Clara studied at Chelsea School of Art, The Ruskin and the Royal Academy. She started concentrating on writing and illustrating children's books when she had children of her own and has now written and illustrated many stories for young children, including the Muffin and Lucky Wish Mouse series for Orchard. Clara lives in Twickenham, with her husband and their children Jack and Martha and three guinea pigs.
