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.
