Rose Robbins

Hello, I'm Rose Robbins, and I'm a words addict. I love words, whether they are in a book, a newspaper, a text message, or scrawled on a bathroom wall. Sometimes when I am at a friend's home, I see something with words on it, like a letter or something personal, and I can't help reading it. It's not because I am a snoop, I swear! It's just that I really can't resist words on a page or screen. They MUST be read!
Happily, I have settled on a way to safely satisfy my constant craving for words - I write them myself. I still love reading things at other people's houses, but now if I wake in the night jonesing for some words, I can just create some to get myself through another day.

Rachel Bright

Rachel is a writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings. She exhibits widely, writes tirelessly and frequently creates slightly unhinged characters.

Her written work includes children’s stories and poems, clever advertising copy and lots of other stuff besides. Her illustrative work is a smorgasboard of giant, hand-printed poems, mind-bogglingly detailed gouache illustrations and a cacophony of quirky prints and etchings.

She explores the lovliness of words and the magic of pictures, revelling in a world of jam-eating miniature bears and other made-up animals.

Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’r

Margaret Wise Brown

Margaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Even though she died nearly 70 years ago, her books still sell very well.

Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem. She thought this made children think harder when they are reading.

She wrote all the time. There are many scraps of paper where she quickly wrote down a story idea or a poem. She said she dreamed stories and then had to write them down in the morning before she forgot them.

She tried to write the way children wanted to hear a story, which often
