Jose Carlos Andres started writing theatre for children. And stories, loads of stories. He is fascinated by writing, because it allows him to create new worlds full of laughter and emotions. He has published theatre plays for children and families, a theatre guide, storytelling, theatre art and clowning for all ages, and of course, stories for picture books. Myriam Cameros Sierra studied at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, where she came into contact with the world of illustration, comics and animation. From that moment on she decided to dedicate herself to illustration in all its facets. Today she combines her work as an illustrator with teaching, addressing the need for critical visual literacy in a world surrounded by images.
