Katie Cleminson is the author and illustrator ofMagic Box , and a graduate of North Wales School of Art. About her inspiration for this book, she said, "When I was writing this story, I thought about who I would like to spend my dream day with. I decided I would love to be woken up by an elephant, hang out with a lemur, be taught violin by an octopus, and eat dinner with a hippo." Katie wakes up, eats up, and cuddles up in the UK. See above.
