About the Author/作者介绍： 约翰尼··怀尔德(JONNIE WILD)对保护雨林的兴趣最初是由他自己的孩子们在得知雨林遭到破坏的不安感受所激发的。他建立了约克郡雨林项目，该项目旨在，在约克郡种植，像亚马逊地区这么大的森林覆盖树木，现在在世界各地都有类似的项目。他与利兹大学的环境科学家合作，支持保护森林栖息地的合作研究和行动，以造福动物和人类。
布里塔·格兰斯特伦(BRITA GRANSTROM)的插画曾获得雀巢聪明银牌奖(Smarties/Nestlé Silver Award)、英国画册协会奖(不少于5次)，并两次入围瑞典颁发的阿斯特里德·林德格林纪念奖ALMA (Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award)的候选名单。她最近和丈夫一起推出的童书《Books, Books, Books! 》2017年由Otter-Barry Books推出。布里塔作为一名在非洲志愿医生的亲身经历，帮助她为《五只火烈鸟》(Five Flamingos)的插图增添了真实性和幽默感。
JONNY WILD’s interest in conservation was first stimulated by his own children’s distress at learning about destruction of the rainforests. He set up the Yorkshire Rainforest project, which planted new forest trees in an Amazon area as big as Yorkshire, and now has similar projects all over the world. He works with environmental scientists at the University of Leeds, supporting collaborative research and action in conserving forest habitats for the benefit of both animals and humans.

BRITA GRANSTROM’s illustrations have won such top awards as the Smarties/Nestlé Silver Award, and the English Association Picture Book Award (no less than five times) and she has been twice shortlisted for the ALMA (Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award). Her most recent book, with her husband Mick Manning, is Books, Books, Books! published in 2017 by Otter-Barry Books. Brita’s vivid memories of working as a volunteer for a flying doctor in Africa help to give authenticity as well as humour to her illustration for the ’Five Flamingos’ books.
