About the Author

Emma Adams (Author)

Emma Adams grew up spending lots of her time in her local library, reading Roald Dahl books and imagining she was Matilda. Her love of reading turned into a love of publishing when she went to Loughborough University to study Publishing with English, and when Emma later started working on books for children it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Emma lives in Hackney, London.

The Van Gogh Museum (Author)

The Van Gogh Museum is home to the world's largest collection of Vincent van Gogh's artwork and the leading international authority on his paintings and prints. The museum's collection, complemented by years of scientific research into the work of Van Gogh and his contemporaries, offers and unparalleled insight into the artist's life and work in the context of his time.
