Dr Sheanna Maine Author

Dr Sheanna Maine is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who, until the birth of her son, could not recall reading anything other than anatomy textbooks and orthopedic journal articles. While she has written numerous research papers and a couple of book chapters on knees, this is her first foray into the world of the child, a world she now appreciates and cherishes as much as her son loves pretending to be Spider-Man. Sheanna wrote this book in order to help parents explain the process of fixing a broken bone so that children (and parents) can be less intimidated by the experience!

Maia Batumashvili was born in Tiblisi, Georgia in 1978. Since a young age, Maia has loved to draw and is inspired by the children's books and cartoons she grew up with. After graduating from two art institutes, Maia worked on an animation project before finally realising her dream of illustrating children's books. When Maia is not creating imaginative worlds, she enjoys spending time with her three beautiful children and her dog, Tayo.
