Lesley dreamed of being a writer, but studied law as her mother insisted she had "something to fall back on". Since joining Usborne Publishing, she has written and edited hundreds of books, from funny rhyming stories to an award-winning history book. Nowadays, she is often found recording books, too, in Usborne's very own recording studio. Siân Roberts studied illustration by the sea at the Arts University Bournemouth, graduating with a first class honours degree in 2018. She now works from her home studio in Surrey and, fuelled by endless cups of tea, she loves to create fun characters and worlds that are full of personality.
