After studying arts, humanities and languages at Duke University, she moved to the UK and earned an MA in Latin American Literature and Culture from the University of London. She honed her writing skills while working as a publisher, writing over 100 books for children.

Jesús Verona (Illustrator) Jesús Verona's work is divided between children's illustration and illustration for an agency. His main interests are nature, art, typography, architecture, and design.

Jesús was born in Madrid but lives in Stockholm together with his wife and their three children. He studied design and illustration at the School of arts in Stockholm.
