The Great Highland Games Chase is Kate’s debut picture book. She lives in the New Forest, Hampshire, with her family. Laura Darling is a Scottish children’s illustrator and writer. She has an MA in Illustration from Edinburgh College of Art. Laura has worked with organisations such as the V&A Dundee and UNESCO City of Design Dundee.
