Sam grew up in Buckinghamshire, falling off various bicycles before
reading books and making up his own stories about more competent
heroes. After studying English at Cambridge University, he joined
Usborne in 2013, and now writes titles ranging from fold-out solar
systems to maze books full of swashbuckling pirates. Sometimes, Sam
cycles to work.
Maddie Frost creates her illustrations by making handmade textured
and patterned swatches with materials like watercolour paint,
crayon, pencils, and even kitchen spices! She scans the swatches
into Photoshop and digitally cuts the shapes she needs to make
something. Her final images can consist of anywhere from fifty to
five hundred pieces that are all layered together. Maddie lives in
Arlington, Massachusetts, with her husband.
