About The Author

Chae Strathie

Chae Strathie (Author)

Chae Strathie is an award-winning children’s author and journalist who grew up in a tiny village surrounded by a forest in Scotland, which probably explains a lot. His first attempt at professional writing was creating a Star Wars comic at the age of seven. He sold two copies and made a total of four pence. A regular at major book festivals, Chae has toured the length and breadth of the UK and visited schools as far afield as Romania, reading his stories, acting the goat and singing silly songs about worm ice cream and beard-growing. He lives in Dundee with three annoying cats and a very old goldfish called Lazarus.

Marisa Morea (Illustrator)

Marisa Morea is a freelance illustrator based in Madrid, Spain. She lived in Barcelona for a couple of years and graduated with an MA in Illustration from Eina School in Barcelona in 2009. After a few years working as an Art Director in several advertising agencies, Marisa decided to quit and pursue a career as a full-time illustrator. So far, she has worked with many international clients from the United States, Australia, UK, France, and Singapore.

In her spare time, Marisa is an Ashtanga yogi and a classic cinema lover. She also has a passion for music and enjoys creating covers of her favorite songs on the guitar.
