Ashley FaythAuthor
Ashley Fayth is an award-winning singer/songwriter and children's author from Random Island, Newfoundland. Her original songs for global conservation campaigns (Chester Zoo, EAZA, RSPO) have been translated into multiple languages, and are taught in classrooms all around the world. Ashley's debut children's book, Blueberry Bay, was showcased as part of Canada's Department of Fisheries and Ocean's World Oceans Day, and explores the impact of plastic pollution on marine wildlife. She lives with her husband and pint-sized daughter in Chester, England, where in-between playgroups and endless loads of laundry, she is working on a new collection of seasonal songs for children (and their grown-ups). An illustrator based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England, Katie Brosnan received a Master's Degree in Children's Book Illustration (with distinction) from the Cambridge School of Art. She has written and/or illustrated several books, including the acclaimed Keith Among the Pigeons (longlisted for the 2020 Klaus Flugge Prize) and Gut Garden (winner of the 2020 North Somerset Teachers' Book Award -- Information Book category; longlisted for the 2020 SLA Information Book Award). Her illustrations feature in Andy Jones's hilarious Barefoot Helen and the Giants.
