Kristen Schroeder

Kristen Schroeder writes for children from her home in Minnesota, where she lives with her family. Freddy the Not-Teddy was inspired by her son’s favourite stuffed toy, Freddy. Hilary Jean Tapper is a picture book illustrator, perpetually enchanted by the magic of watercolour and small folk. She has drawn small persons since she herself was a small person – and you’ll find such naughty wee characters on everything she touches!
