Rashmi Sirdeshpande is a lawyer turned children's author who loves taking big ideas and making them accessible and exciting for young readers. She writes non-fiction picture books that ignite children's curiosity, as well as fictional stories that crackle with imagination. When she's not playing with words, you'll find her on her yoga mat twisting herself into all sort of shapes. Adam Hayes is a typographer and illustrator. He works on a broad range of projects from quick editorial illustrations to large-scale international campaigns.
Adam creates all of his work by hand. His typical working method is to produce lots of quick pencil sketches as response to a project brief, often drawing over and over to capture the best design approach. He develops these sketches into refined ink drawings, before manipulating and adding colour in Photoshop.
Adam lives and works in Wales with his partner, Sarah Bridgland and their two kids. When not in the studio Adam can be found either mountain biking in the hills, hiking over the moors or embarking on a family adventure.
