Sophie Draper (Author) Sophie lives in east London with her husband and two young daughters. She has worked in cultural education for 18 years and has delivered learning programmes for families, schools and early years at the Wallace collection, the Museum of London and the National Gallery. In 2021 Sophie Joined RIBA to work with architects in teaching children and young people about the spaces where they live, learn, work and play. Sue Downing (Illustrator) Sue lives and works in a little eco house in Newcastle upon Tyne with her husband and two children. She loves to draw, design and make things. Since leaving Edinburgh College of art in the late 1990s, she's worked in-house, on a freelance basis, as an illustrator, product/licensed character developer, a designer/maker of jewellery, greetings cards and wrapping paper - never a dull moment! Sue's inspirations are many - from knitted toys, Japanese design, and Scandinavian Chic to Modernism, Dick Bruna and Info-graphics. She's drawn to anything that is quirky, humorous and minimal in design, and hopes that this is reflected in her illustration.
