Alex Kirk grew up in the seaside town of Cleethorpes, which has brilliant beaches and the best fish and chips in the entire world.

He has worked in a fish finger factory, as a plumber, a gardener, an English teacher, and for the last twenty-five years as a screenwriter, actor and comedian. Alex has written comedy shows for both radio and television, as well as being part of the writing team behind the wonderful Paddington 2 and Wonka. As an actor he has appeared in many TV productions such as My Family, Fresh Meat, The Detectorists and Coronation Street.

He now lives in London with his family and a cat called Jonesey. His first book is called ROBOTS STOLE MY MUM!

As a young boy, Tim Wesson loved climbing trees and drawing pictures of dogs in cars. This heady mix of fun, freedom and art led to his career as a globally published children's illustrator, which has seen him illustrate and author books across a wide variety of formats. Tim's illustrations are full of humour, doodles and fun characters; he takes great delight in turning the world on its head and inviting children to go on the ride with him. Tim lives by the sea in Suffolk with his lovely family.
