About the Author

Since joining Usborne, Minna has written books on everything from pirates and gladiators to jungles and oceans. She studied Maths and Philosophy at university and previously worked as a journalist and illustrator in London, Bogota and New York. In her spare time, she loves writing stories, drawing and playing the guitar.

While studying Architecture, Brendan Kearney realized he didn't like rulers. He also discovered that drawing pictures for a living was a legitimate and fun career option, so he traded architecture for illustration as quickly as he could. Brendan now creates children's book, bringing his own chaotic style and ideas to his projects. If you can't find him drawing you're likely to find him with a guitar or banjo in hand.
