Katie Daynes (Author)
Katie has been writing non-fiction children's books for almost half her life and loves questioning the world from a child's point of view. She's developed some of Usborne's bestselling series, including the See Inside books and Lift-the-flap Questions and Answers. When she's not writing, she likes drinking coffee, walking on the moors and playing competitive board games with her children.
Ashe de Sousa (Author)
Ashe wasn't born; she grew on a bush. She lived in Paris and Lyon for a bit, before coming back to London to finish her studies at King's College - writing about music, film and politics in the meantime.
She's happiest in icy waters, on her bicycle and sleeping outside. She moonlights as a climber.
At Usborne, Ashe writes books about the human body and stories of the Moon.
Oksana Drachkovska (Illustrator)
Oksana was born and grew up in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lviv and made the city her home for over a decade, until Russia's invasion forced her to flee. She then started selling prints of her work to raise funds for those left in Ukraine. I realised that everything can be a weapon against evil, even art.
Oksana finds her inspiration in trees, the ocean, birds, clouds and people. Every person I meet gives me a better understanding of myself. I like to play with metaphors. I'm one of those people who find it easier to think on paper.
