Ben Hoare (Author)
Since graduating from university in 1996, Ben Hoare has written and edited enough natural history books and magazines to fill his bookshelves to overflowing. He has been a staff member in the offices of the RSPB, Birdwatch Magazine, DK and various BBC magazines, especially BBC Wildlife. In 2015 Ben was awarded the Dilys Breese Medal for science communication by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) - he is one of only 15 people to hold the award. Ben lives in a sleepy village in the Quantock Hills of Somerset with his wife, two daughters, a labrador and a flock of unruly chickens.

Jasmine Floyd (Illustrator)
Jasmine is a freelance illustrator and printmaker residing in the Shropshire countryside. Her illustration style was massively influenced by her experiences studying illustration in Liverpool and the wonderful arts scene there - hence the vibrant colours and psychedelic vibes! Jasmine loves to create headache-inducing patterns and riso prints but most importantly illustrations that make people happy.
