Tanya Rosie

Tanya Rosie studied English literature in Canada and England and now works in children's publishing. Mum, Me, and the Mulberry Tree, illustrated by Chuck Groenink, was her debut picture book. She grew up near London in a household filled with Iranian traditions (from her mum) and a few Scottish ones, too (from her dad). In all her writing, she likes to capture something of the way it was being a child. Tanya Rosie now lives in St. Albans, England. Find her on Twitter @tanya_rosie.

Chuck Groenink is the illustrator of more than a dozen picture books, including Hungry Jim by Laurel Snyder, The Library Book by Tom Chapin and Michael Mark, and William's Winter Nap by Linda Ashman. When not drawing pictures for books, he likes to read, bake bread, or go hiking, and he wishes he could play the banjo. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Chuck Groenink now lives in Kinderhook, New York. Find him on Twitter @ChuckGroenink and Instagram @c.groenink.
