Did you ever go to Silversands on a sunny summer's day? Then perhaps you saw the mermaid who sang in the deep blue bay.
Julia Donaldson is the outrageously talented, prize-winning author
of the world's best-loved picture books, and was the 2011-2013 UK
Children's Laureate. Her books include Sharing a Shell, the
bestselling smash-hit What the Ladybird Heard and the modern
classic The Gruffalo, which has sold over 13.5 million copies
worldwide and has been translated into over sixty languages. Julia
also writes fiction as well as poems, plays and songs and her
brilliant live children's shows are always in demand. Julia and her
husband Malcolm divide their time between Sussex and Edinburgh.
Lydia Monks is one of the most original picture book artists
working today. Her distinctive use of colour and collage has won
her critical acclaim and several awards, including the Smarties
Prize. Her collaborations with Julia Donaldson include The Singing
Mermaid, the Princess Mirror-belle books, Sugarlump and the
Unicorn, and the phenomenally successful What the Ladybird Heard.
Lydia lives in Sheffield.
