Laura Baker grew up in Canada with a passion for stories. She now lives in a lovely coastal town in Wales with her husband, two sons, and big basset hound. She loves finding special stories to tell in the everyday, relatable world of a child (or dog).

Nina Dzyvulska is an illustrator from Ukraine, who now lives in Colorado, USA. She is passionate about merging the world of motherhood with her art. Nina studied at the Kiev Academy of Arts and Architecture. Her brightly coloured, fun loving illustrations portray a sense of joy and youthfulness.

"Wales-based Baker teams up with Ukrainian illustrator Dzyvulska for this "wild and vibrant" picture book packed with monsters on their first day of school. Also out in October from the same team, Monsters at Bedtime."

--The Bookseller

"A lively read-aloud for preschool classrooms or home . . . "
