Swapna lives in New Zealand with her karate-chopping, swash-buckling son and her thirty-something, age-sensitive husband. She spends her time writing, eating cake and making sure her son doesn't flatten her husband as he attempts to master his human cannonball trick. Sometimes she does all three at the same time. She landed her first book deal when she won the Greenhouse Funny Prize for her children's story 'Dave Pigeon', which was shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Awards 2016, the Leicester Libraries Our Best Book Award 2017 and the Sheffield Children's Book Award 2017.

A children's book author and illustrator from Taiwan, based in the UK since 2020, Yiting graduated with a master's in Children's Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art in 2012. She focuses on picture books, delivering whimsical and unpredictable stories, and likes to keep the story simple and the illustration full because she knows children love looking into those details like she did. In her illustration, she mainly uses watercolour, gouache, ink, colour pencils and whatever else she has newly discovered.
