Originally from England, Ali Rutstein moved to Australia over twenty years ago. She is now firmly settled in Brisbane, where she lives with her partner, three sons, and an assortment of disobedient pets. Ali has a background in zoology and scientific writing, but much prefers writing picture books for children. She writes stories inspired by her passion for wildlife and steals ideas from amusing conversations with her children.

Niña Nill is a children’s book creator based in Australia, where she lives with her husband, two adorable kids, and a growing number of houseplants. She loves illustrating stories for children, from the magical and whimsical to the quiet and ordinary. One of her earliest memories is copying her mum's drawing of a cat under a row of flowers and she has been drawing ever since.
