Nicola's rhyming text informs and entertains as it introduces children to the natural world, complemented by Abbie Cameron's beautifully vibrant illustrations.

Nicola is an award-winning author, whose many books for children include The Promise (Green Earth Book Award 2015, CILIP Kate Greenaway Shortlist 2015), Tiny (AAAS Subaru Prize 2015), A First Book of Nature , Whale Boy (Blue Peter Award Shortlist 2014), and the 'Heroes of the Wild' series (Portsmouth Book Prize 2014). She graduated in Zoology, studied whales and bats and then worked for the BBC Natural History Unit. Underlying all Nicola’s writing is the belief that a relationship with nature is essential to every human being, and that now, more than ever, we need to renew that relationship. Nicola’s children’s books from Graffeg include The Pond , Perfect (CILIP Kate Greenaway Longlist 2017), the 'Shadows and Light' series, Animal Surprises , The Word Bird and Into the Blue . Abbie Cameron was raised on the farmlands of the West Country. Surrounded by nature, she developed a love and appreciation for all creatures great and small. Abbie studied Illustration at University of Wales Trinity Saint David, where she first met Nicola Davies. Her style is playful and inventive, sharing some of the tongue-in-cheek attitude and doodle-like style of other contemporary British illustrators. She employs the use of bright colours and texture, whilst playing with scale, composition and open space. Abbie’s other books include Animal Surprises (The Klaus Flugge Prize for the Most Exciting Newcomer to Picture Book Illustration Longlist 2017), The Word Bird and Into the Blue. Abbie was also highly commended for the Penguin Random House Design Awards 2014.
