About the authors
Alice has never been at a loss for ideas. A childhood playing make-believe and working her way through the shelves of the local library helped fuel her imagination. She began her working life as a librarian and a web content editor, while all the time attending various part-time classes, in sculpture, illustration and writing.
On maternity leave with her first child, she vowed to complete just one unfinished project. That became the text for her first published picture book, 'The Black and White Club' (Maverick publishing), with illustrator Kimberley Scott. Since then, she has gone on to publish over fifty books, including 'The Dark Unicorn' series (Scholastic) and 'The Leaf Thief' with illustrator Nicola Slater, which has sold all over the world. Her books for younger children are made for sharing, with fun dialogue and text that works in harmony with the illustrations. Her fairytales for older children draw on her love of traditional tales and folklore.
Alice lives in Hertfordshire, UK with her husband and two children. When she’s not visiting schools, she works in a writing shed at the top of her garden, where she can immerse herself in the world of her stories. She finds inspiration all around her and is in no danger of running out of ideas!
Please visit her website at www.alicehemming.co.uk
Nicola Slater has illustrated many picture books, including the New York Times bestselling 'The Leaf Thief' with Alice Hemming, 'Don't Say Elephant' with Stuart Heritage, 'There's a Skunk in my Bunk' with Christopher Cerf, and many more, all of which have been translated into numerous languages throughout the world. In her spare time she likes looking at animals, sitting in the rain, and tickling her children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolut lustiges Kinderbuch, auf englisch!
Die Geschichte von Eichhörnchen und Vogel ist so lustig zu lesen! Die Bilder sind sehr hübsch gemalt und wir lieben das Buch und die Geschichte. Wir haben auch "den Blätterdieb" und die Geschichte ist genauso lustig.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful book
My daughter and I have been waiting eagerly for this book to come out. We absolutely loved 'The Leaf Thief'. This book has become a bedtime favourite in our house. The characters (Squirrel and Bird) are fantastically portrayed and message of how spring looks like is so beautifully set. Request to Alice Hemming: Please write more books in this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Spring!
I absolutely adore this story! I am a huge fan of the first season book featuring Squirrel and Bird ‘The Leaf Thief’ and this one did not disappoint!
Squirrel is determined not to let anything happen to HIS flower after last time!
It’s a must have!
