Suzan Boshouwers
Suzan Boshouwers got her degree in illustration in 1993 from the Academy of Visual Arts in Den Bosch, after which she enjoyed a writing course. She writes commissioned educational texts and published a few picture books, some of which she illustrated too. With her husband and her son she lives in Vught (the Netherlands). Her son is her big source of inspiration: if she couldn't follow his inquisitive view of the world, she wouldn't be able to write books.

Margot Senden describes herself as a chaotic creative mother of two beautiful girls, with a passion for astronomy, music, art, and children's books. She works as a graphic designer and dreams of becoming one day a famous children's book illustrator.
