When Sangeeta Bhadra was two years old, her mom found her with her teddy bear, Jeremy, under one arm, pen in hand, scribbling furiously over the pages of The Three Bears. She claimed to be writing.
Sangeeta “wrote” many books during that period, but it wasn’t until she was in grade three (after a few author visits at her school) that she knew she wanted to be an author herself when she grew up. She told her parents so, they agreed it was a good idea, and that was that! Sangeeta has been writing ever since.

Sam McBratney

The 1943 born Northern Ireland native started writing children's books when he was a teacher in his thirties, with the aim of helping out students who had trouble reading. But he continued writing for a more-personal reason: "the act of imagining simply makes me feel good," he says. The fifty-seventh book of Sam McBratney's career, and his first book with Candlewick Press, was the much-loved GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, which has sold an astonishing 15 million copies worldwide, and is available in 37 languages.
