Ladybird (Author) We make growing up the best story ever! Here at Ladybird, we publish playful books for little hands. From touch-and-feel books to bedtime stories and non-fiction, we help 0-7s to learn, play and grow - sparking plenty of smiles along the way. The home of Ten Minutes to Bed, Baby Touch, Peppa Pig and Hey Duggee, we know just how to capture curious little imaginations and guide them from one story to the next. Samantha Meredith (Illustrator) Samantha Meredith graduated from Loughborough University in 2001 with BA (Hons) Illustration. She worked as a designer at Usborne Publishing for five years, before making the scary move into freelancing. At the last count, Samantha has illustrated over 200 books for clients, mostly in children's publishing, including Ladybird Books, Scholastic, Campbell Books and Bloomsbury. Her time is fairly evenly split between working and snacking!
