Melanie Hibbert has a passion for creating children's books and loves to discover new things about the world to share with young readers. She grew up in Scotland, has worked in the USA, Japan and London, and now lives in Bath. Subjects Melanie has written about include art, craft, games, natural history, cookery and travel. Her latest challenge is learning to play the saxophone... without upsetting the neighbours! Jayne was born in Morecambe, by the sea in Lancashire, and after many years of travelling she came back to this area to raise her family. Her grandfather was an artist and she spent most of her younger days sitting with him learning to draw and paint. She now works as a freelance illustrator/designer from her studio at the back of her home.
