Author
Jonny Walker, Illustrated by Le Nhat Vu, Prepared for publication by Collins Big Cat
Jonny Walker spends his time writing children’s books about mythology, trees and geese. If he is not doing that, he is probably in a school somewhere, shouting expressively about mythology, trees and geese. If he is not doing that, he is probably wandering around London drinking coffee. If he is not doing that, he is probably at home eating a mountain of cookies and singing songs from the 1980s until his neighbours hate him.
