Mandy Archer Author

Mandy Archer has devised all kinds of titles for children and teens, ranging from board books for babies through to picture books, pop-ups and paperback fiction. She shares a studio in Epsom with other writers and designers. When she needs some extra inspiration, she enjoys talking in primary schools about fairy tales, book making and more. Mandy and her family live near the racecourse on Epsom Downs. Katie Abey is a yellow-haired illustrator human who lives in a teeny hobbit-like house in Derbyshire. She lives with a cat, a hedgehog, a husband and the world's smiliest baby. Her work provides doses of happiness and motivation with a little dash of sarcasm. Her love of colour is reflected in her brightly coloured studio space and her hair, which frequently changes colour to match its surroundings. As well as illustrating the Mindful Kids series, Katie is the author and illustrator of We Wear Pants and We Eat Bananas.
