Author Biography

Michael Rosen is well-known as a poet and broadcaster.

Michael has devoted his life to entertaining children with his writing and performances and to informing teachers, librarians, parents, publishers and government agencies of the importance of supporting children's books. David Melling grew up in London with various siblings and a selection of animals, including a dog. It took him a while to decide what he wanted to do, but he never stopped drawing. He worked as a cel renderer and background artist in several animation studios before he began illustrating children's books. His work includes Ruffles and the Red, Red Coat, the Hugless Douglas series, and The Kiss That Missed, which was short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal.
