Laura Mucha and Ed Smith (Authors) Laura Mucha has traveled to every continent of the world and writes books of poems, facts, and stories for children. Ed Smith writes lip-smacking recipes in his cookbooks for adults. They're both fascinated by the many different things we humans grow, cook, and eat. They also share and enjoy many meals around the same table (they're married), so decided to join forces to create this book. Harriet Lynas (Illustrator) Harriet Lynas was born and raised in Korea. She loved doodling and decided to become an illustrator at the age of ten. She made that dream come true and now illustrates children's books. When she is not drawing, she enjoys cooking exotic foods and walking in the countryside. She lives with her husband and their son in Cambridge, England.
