Sinead O'Hart (Author)
Sinead O'Hart lives in the midlands of Ireland with her family, where it rains a lot (perfect staying-in-to-read weather!). Lola and Larch is Sinead's first chapter book series for young readers published by Nosy Crow. Her books for older readers include The Eye of the North, The Time Tider and The Silver Road. She loves going for walks, autumn weather, getting things in the post, and (of course) reading, writing, and being creative. If she couldn't be an author, she'd probably be an artist - and she DEFINITELY believes in fairies!
Rachel Seago (Illustrator)
Rachel Seago studied translation and interpretation of French and Spanish at university, but quickly decided that her first job proofreading kitchen appliance manuals was not for her. She began an indefinite trip around the world with her backpack and started filling her sketchbooks with doodles of the people she met and the places she went. After eight years of travelling and freelancing, Rachel settled back in her bonnie homeland of Scotland in 2022 to concentrate on illustrating for children.
