About The Author
Mick Manning
Mick Manning (born in Yorkshire, England, 1959) and Brita Granstrom (born in Eskilstuna, Sweden, 1969) work together as a team, sharing illustration and text. They have been producing award-winning non-fiction picture books for almost twenty years, demonstrating that the best non-fiction for children can be scholarly, yet presented with a light touch and the imagination-stretching qualities of fiction.
They are renowned for their engaging performances, which combine readings and live drawing using overhead camera projection (often involving audience participation) with audio-visual presentations. They regularly appear at major UK book festivals such as Bath, Cheltenham, and the Edinburgh International Book Festival. They have also presented at The Royal Society Science Festival and celebrated The Big Draw at various venues, including The Imperial War Museum.
They have actively supported libraries and schools, performing voluntarily for school classes in the UK and Sweden. They have also attended the American Library Conference and visited US schools.
Many of Manning & Granstrom’s books have been translated into several languages, including Chinese, German, Greek, Danish, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, and Slovakian.
For the past 12 years, Mick & Brita have created, written, and illustrated a monthly five-page pre-school series called ‘Max and Kate’ for the acclaimed US children’s magazine Ladybug.
