Mo O’Hara, originally from America, moved to London because she wanted to live abroad but spoke no foreign languages. After a brief and unsuccessful stint as a serving wench at the Tower of London, Mo found work as an actress and comedy performer. It was when she toured the UK as a storyteller that she started writing for kids. Now, Mo lives in South London with her husband, her two kids and her two (slightly bitey) cats. She has toured all across the USA and the UK and has also visited schools and festivals in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Loretta Schauer has illustrated a number of picture books and fiction titles for younger children, including the recent "Fairytales for the Fearless" series written by Gareth P. Jones (Rabunzel, CinderGorilla and Snowy White) and the popular "Luma and the Dragon" series by Leah Mohammed. She has always loved drawing and is never happier than when she’s making something. Loretta lives in York, England.
