Sital Gorasia Chapman grew up in London with a cheeky younger brother and lots of cousins. As a child she was a big reader and the library was one of her favourite places. When she wasn't reading, she was writing, doodling or daydreaming about stories, and as an adult she has now authored many books for children. She loves the colour and playfulness of Holi and the way it brings people together.Darshika Varma completed a BFA in Applied Arts at Rachana Sansad in Mumbai. Her career started off as a designer in digital marketing, from where she moved on to designing wedding invitations and eventually found her true calling as a children's illustrator. Darshika is usually found curled up in a corner poring over a book, sniffing in the scent of inked pages, drawing inspiration from the fantasy world and bringing those vivid imaginations to life through her illustrations.
