Catherine Cawthorne (Author) Catherine Cawthorne always wanted to be an author like Jo March from Little Women, or Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. But then she also wanted to be a toothpaste tester and to own a cafe called Hot Plate selling hot Ribena and Wispas. She spent most of her childhood either up a tree, reading, or forming secret societies in her best friend's shed. There is still nothing she likes more than getting totally and utterly engrossed in a story. Catherine now lives in Guildford with her husband and three children. Aysha Awwad (Illustrator) Aysha Awwad is an illustrator and designer living and working in the U.K. She graduated from University of the Arts London with a degree in Graphic and Media Design and went on to work for a media agency for four years. She now spends her time freelancing on different graphic and illustration projects and playing with her cat, Olive.
