Author Bio

Several years ago, Fran Nuno had the chance to parlay his passion for literature into 100% of his livelihood. He likes to say that he lives off the tales, since he really enjoys writing and telling his stories wherever he is invited to do so. Fran has already published more than 15 books, most of them for children and teenagers. He has been awarded several honorable mentions in important award categories, but he works with the same keenness of his very first day. Most important to his work is meeting his readers at schools, libraries, bookshops, and book fairs. He learns a lot from them and they, with their enthusiasm, inspire him to go on in this difficult but wonderful world of books. Of Polish origin, award winning Zuzanna Celej has a BA Honours in fine Arts at University of Barcelona and Majored in Illustration at the Llotja Art School in Barcelona.
