Author Kes Gray exploded onto bookshelves with his debut, the award-winning Eat Your Peas, and has since become one of the UK’s most popular children’s authors. Known for his sharp wit and big heart, Kes has a remarkable gift for writing stories that make children laugh, think and feel – and for inspiring even the most reluctant readers to fall in love with books.
Illustrator Ruby Wright brings a rich artistic background to her work, having studied sculpture and worked at the BBC before turning to printmaking and children’s illustration. Her debut book Animal Crackers (Rocket Bird Books, 2023) was nominated for the prestigious Klaus Flugge Prize. She draws every day from life, creating playful, heartfelt art that perfectly complements Kes’s storytelling magic.
