Chip Colquhoun began storytelling professionally in 2007 alongside Amy Scott Robinson. He's since performed in 10 countries, presented Traditional Tales for the Oxford Reading Tree online, performed regularly at Glastonbury Festival, and represented the Roald Dahl Story Museum on ITV. He also wrote the EU's guidance on using storytelling in schools. He lives in the former residence of Samuel Pepys, England's most famous diarist, up in Cambridgeshire with his wife Emma and kitten Tito. During her 20 years at Cambridgeshire's Little Paxton Primary School, Rebekah Owen has held various roles, and is currently Deputy Head. She has taught classes throughout the primary age range, but her first passion is always ensuring that her learners receive a rich and varied reading diet. Her second passion is in supporting both trainee teachers and various members of staff through the various stages of their careers, and she has been a trainer with the Cambridge Training School Network's School Centred Initial Teacher Training programme since its inception. So she was excited and delighted to blend these passions by becoming a regular contributor to the Happily Ever Teaching podcast soon after she met Chip during the 2020 pandemic. Korky Paul began his career scribbling for an advertising agency in Cape Town. His first illustration job was a book teaching English, then a pop-up called The Crocodile and the Dumper Truck - but it was his work on Winnie the Witch that won the Children's Book Award in 1987 and made him a much-loved figure in the world of children's books. He's since illustrated for Oxford University Press, Penguin, Random House, and others. He lives in Oxford with his wife Susan.
