Little Bear and the Big Hole

Jennifer Seal studied musical theatre and opera and sang stories for a living. It took a while for her to realise that what she really wanted to do was write. She lives in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she can be found surrounded by wonderfully ordinary and wildly extraordinary characters, real and imagined. Some of them end up in her books if she can catch them. Mirjam Siim was born and raised in Tallinn, Estonia. Since earning a degree from Tartu Art College, Estonia, Mirjam has worked as a freelance illustrator and artist. Working on a range of different projects, Mirjam has exhibited work throughout Europe and the US. She enjoys working in watercolour and is often inspired by moments from her own life — conversations had, books read, or memories shared. Mirjam currently lives in Porto, Portugal.
