About The Author

Ben Lerwill

Ben Lerwill (Author)

Ben Lerwill lives in Oxfordshire and has two young children, whose vivid imaginations sparked his interest in writing children’s books. He is also an award-winning freelance travel writer, an enthusiastic chef and a very bad guitarist.

Ben’s non-fiction for children is often inspired by his love of the natural world. Recent titles include: Wild Family (Puffin), Let’s Play Football (Welbeck) and Stone Age Beasts (Walker). His book Around the World in 80 Trees (Welbeck) was shortlisted for the 2022 Wainwright Prize for Children’s Writing on Nature and Conservation.

Sarah Edmonds (Illustrator)

Sarah Edmonds is a freelance illustrator working on projects with publishers, museums, national parks and charities. Alongside this, her collection of playful illustrated gifts has grown and is sold online and in gift shops.

Sarah is inspired by vintage print production, instructional children’s illustration and mid-century colour palettes. Those influences show - she has a particular eye for colour and a unique, memorable palette. Her previous non-fiction titles include: Save Our Species by Dominic Couzens (HarperCollins), All Things Change by Anna Claybourne (Welbeck) and Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks by Sean Taylor and ecologist Alex Morss (Welbeck).

Sarah lives by the sea in Worthing, with her partner and their two young children.
