ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR:

JOSIE LAYTON loves writing funny stories that sneak a little moral in . Trained as a beauty therapist but unable to paint nails to save herself, Josie would instead call herself an “inner beauty” therapist, whose sole purpose is to write stories that change the conversation about true beauty and healthy body image . Now training as a counselor, she hopes to help people rewrite their own personal stories too . Josie is from Melbourne, Australia . REBECCA TIMMIS is an award-winning author and illustrator for children, based on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia . She has three boys, a husband, and no cats, which is sad because she really wants to be a crazy cat lady when she grows up and needs more practice .
