About the Author
Born in Tasmania with Irish roots, Samuel J. Halpin writes daily. Having studied journalism at the University of New South Wales, Samuel went on to take cinematography at AFTRS, the national Australian film school in Sydney before moving to London and working in comedy TV production. His children's books are his answer to a childhood raised on a hodgepodge of fairy tales, crowded bookshelves and cups of hot chocolate.
As soon as her parents put pencils in her hands, Laura decided to try them on the kitchen walls. Now she no longer draws on walls but on any other surface, in fact, in addition to digital she loves to draw and paint on wood and paper. In 2008 Laura attended a comic book course and in 2023 she attended a Master in Digital Illustration. Most of her days are full of drawings, but she also likes watching fantasy movies, reading children's books, practicing Tai Chi, eating pancakes with friends and annoying her cat.
