Author Notes: Birdie Black is Kate Wilson, managing director of Nosy Crow. She has twenty-five years of experience in publishing, most of it in children's publishing, and has written several books. She was looking for a story that was all about the joy of giving at Christmas, and she couldn't find one, so she wrote one. She lives in London, England, with her husband and two children.

Rosalind Beardshaw has illustrated several picture books for children. A television star and artist named Rolf Harris visited her school when she was ten years old and inspired her to draw and draw and draw. She's still drawing today. She lives in York, England with her partner, young son, and baby daughter.
