Miranda Smith has written and edited information books and articles for children and adults on a variety of subjects. Like the children she writes for, she likes to explore and find out about new things. Recently, she has visited Peru's Machu Picchu and jumped out of an airplane and is deciding how to relate these to her writing and what to do next! Aaron Cushley is an illustrator and a doodler of dogs. From Belfast, he studied illustration and graphic design at the Belfast School of Art and Design. Aaron's work stems from his inner child and the innocence and creativity that emerges when he holds a pencil.
