Swapna Haddow and Dapo Adeola - characterful collaboration

Swapna Haddow is the author of the prize-winning Dave Pigeon series illustrated by Sheena Dempsey and writing as Swapna Reddy, The Ballet Bunnies series for fledgeling readers.

Dapo Adeola is an illustrator with a background in character development. His partnership with writer Nathan Bryon brought us the lovable science crazy character, Rocket who made her first appearance in the book Look Up! and a reappearance in Clean Up!

Swapna and Dapo are now collaborating on a new project, My Dad is a Grizzly Bear and it sounds as though they had great fun putting it together.
