Helen was born and grew up in a small town called Weymouth, on the south coast of England. Her family was from Wales, and she inherited from them a love of stories. As a child, she spent most of her time either reading or writing, and from an early age she started making books with her own stories and pictures in them. Helen is the author of the gorgeous picture book You Can Never Run Out of Love, illustrated by Ali Pye.

David Roberts has illustrated many children's books, including the Questioneers series, The Cook and the King, and Bathe the Cat. He lives in London where, when not drawing, he likes to make hats.
