He wrote a PhD about moles and other small mammals, worked at the BBC Natural History Unit, then the Natural History Museum in London, and now spends his time thinking about lizards.

Illustrator: Gaia Bordicchia

Gaia grew up on the Sardinian coast, surrounded by the rich natural environment where she spent her childhood on the beach, swimming, snorkelling, exploring the nearby caves and playing in the olive trees. Originally expected to become an engineer or architect, a chance conversation with an art teacher on a foreign exchange trip to Colorado led Gaia to pursue a career in illustration, which she studied at the IED (European Institute of Design). Gaia has spent many years illustrating for wildlife magazines, character design and children’s picture books.
