Autorentext
Tom Adams is a children's author who juggles his time between writing books and making television programmes. He was born in Yorkshire but now lives in Kent with his wife and their three teenage sons. When he's not at his desk writing, he's often scribbling ideas for books and TV shows down in his notebook. He likes lots of sports, cooking, walking and playing the guitar but is slowly realising that his children are better than him at most of these things. He dislikes weeding the garden but does it anyway.Sarah Walsh grew up in upstate New York. When she was little she was obsessed with animals. So much so that she wanted to be one. Her mom knew this and sewed her an assortment of costumes she could wear all year round. She was also obsessed with drawing and from a very small age knew in her heart she would be an artist someday. If....she worked hard enough and practised. Currently Sarah is an internationally published illustrator with several adult colouring books, children's board books, activity books, and greeting cards under her belt. She lives with her family in Kansas City. Her work and other notions can be found at Sarahwalshmakesthings.com.

Music was a big part of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's early life and he and his sister, Maria Anna, played instruments and wrote their own pieces from a young age. When he was just three, Wolfgang started to learn tunes on the harpsichord, a piano-like instrument with a keyboard. By four, he could play the violin and would perform pieces composed by his father. By five, he was writing his own music.
