Julia was born in Stamford and trained as an architect. She loves the countryside and nature, finding it a pool of inspiration to draw on in her writing. Julia now lives in Gosport with her husband and three children and hopes one day to get back to doing pottery - once her children have all grown up! She has published 12 picture books, translated into many languages. Cee Biscoe studied Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, gaining an MA in 2007. She lives in Suffolk with her husband and a small garden full of wildlife, many of which creep and crawl their way into her illustrations.
