Villetta Craven's favorite thing about writing and editing children's books is marveling at how much can be said in so few words. She lives in London in a tall house with lots of stairs and has some of her best ideas while she's on her way to the kitchen to make strong cups of tea. Her other great passion is soccer, and she is a dedicated supporter of a team that doesn't win very often.
Dawn Machell has been drawing for many different children's products for more than 30 years. She branched out into children's book illustration in 2014, and it's now her very favorite thing to do.
