ISABEL SANCHEZ VERGARA, born in Barcelona, Spain, is a writer and
creative director in constant search of new concepts for children's
books. Working for more than fifteen years for clients in top
advertising agencies, her books combine creativity with learning,
aiming to establish a new and fresh relationship between children
and pop culture.
ELISA MUNSO is a Fine Arts graduate from the University of
Barcelona. Whilst there, she specialised in sculpture, and also
studied illustration, props and scenery. She currently works,
mainly drawing and designing, in her own studio-gallery The Flood
in Barcelona. The small gallery self-publishes their booklets of
travel and stories. Elisa combines work in the gallery with her own
projects, by organising exhibitions of illustration, and
presentations of fanzines, by individuals and collectives.
“The kind of books that adults will covet and collect as well… The
language and structure is simple enough for young readers, while a
biographical timeline at the end of each book offers greater
historical complexity”
*Irish Times*
Best children’s books for spring - “Strikingly illustrated, they’re
superb first biographies for younger readers.”
*The Huffington Post*

famous women in history and retell them in a child-friendly
way'

by pursuing their childhood dreams."

"This delightful biography for young readers... As well as
highlighting her achievements, the book
quietly emphasises how wonderful the imagination can be,
and how this can inspire others, too. This is shown even through
the illustrations, as Agatha's creations spill out across the
pages."
*Book Trust*
'Astoundingly, Agatha Christie taught herself to read at the age of
five. Children will follow the famous author's life story with the
aid of succinct text and enjoyable illustrations.'
*Parents in Touch*
“A QUIRKY kids biography series“
*The Voice*
