Stephanie Stansbie has been a children\'s books editor for more years than she\'d care to mention.
Her books include The Highland Falcon Thief (winner of the British Book Award for Children\'s Fiction Book of the Year), Moon\'s First Friends, and The House with Chicken Legs..
After a career in advertising and as an entrepreneur, Elisa now works in the UK as a freelance illustrator and author, accompanied by her beloved pets.
Elisa Paganelli was born in Modena, Italy, and since childhood has considered books to be her best friends.
In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, watching her boys at play (son and husband), and, when she has the energy, the occasional stint of capoeira.
She has written a number of picture books along the way and adores editing for children.
