Tom Jackson (Author) Tom Jackson has been a writer for 20 years. He has written more than 80 books and contributed to hundreds more. Tom gets to write about a wide range of subjects, everything from axolotls to zoroastrianism. However, his specialties are natural history, technology and all things scientific. Tom spends his days finding fun ways of communicating these kinds of facts, new and old, to all age groups and reading abilities. Tom lives in Bristol, England, with his wife and three children. He studied zoology at Bristol University and has had spells working at the zoos in Jersey and Surrey. Tom has also worked as a conservationist, which saw him planting trees in Somerset, surveying Vietnamese jungle and rescuing wildlife from drought-ridden Zimbabwe. Writing jobs have also taken him to the Galapagos Islands, the Amazon rain forest, the coral reefs of Indonesia and the Sahara Desert. Nowadays, he can be found mainly in the attic. Rea Zhai (Illustrator) After earning her master's degree in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Rea is now working as a freelance Illustrator of children-related illustrations. She loves drawing these, as she can observe the world in a kid's way purely, which can always bring her fun, peace, and joy. She lives with her husband, baby girl, two cats, and dogs in Beijing, China.
