About the Author / Illustrator

Nicola Davies is an award-winning author whose many books for children include A First Book of NatureIce BearBig Blue Whale and the Silver Street Farm series. She graduated in zoology, studied whales and bats then worked in the BBC Nature History Unit. Underlying all Nicola's writing is the belief that a relationship with nature is essential to every human being, and that now, more than ever, we need to renew that relationship.

Abbie Cameron was raised on the farmlands of the West Country. Surrounded by nature, she developed a love and appreciation for all creatures great and small. Abbie studied Illustration at University of Wales Trinity Saint David, where she first met Nicola Davies. Her style is playful and inventive, sharing some of the tongue-in-cheek attitude and doodle-like style of other contemporary British illustrators. She employs the use of bright colours and texture, whilst playing with scale, composition and open space. The Word Bird, Animal Surprises and Into the Blue are Abbie’s first published books but she hopes to continue a career in picture book illustration. Other notable achievements include being Highly Commended in the Penguin Random House Design Awards 2014.

‘This series, based on the popular picture book series Animal Surprises, is designed to encourage children to understand and appreciate the natural world – and it succeeds excellently in that aim. Nicola Davies is a zoologist, poet and top children’s book author who combines these talents effectively in this interesting series. […] A good combination of information and creativity which will raise children’s awareness of the importance of caring for the natural world.’Parents in Touch
