Growing up by the seaside, Megan buried herself in books (and sometimes pebbles). She studied English at university, and later Children's Literature, before teaching English to teenagers in a secondary school. She now writes books for Usborne about all kinds of things, from trucks and trains to bats and ballerinas.

Amy Chiu (Author)
Since she was a child, Amy has always pestered anyone that'll listen with questions and random facts. After studying neuroscience at university, she joined Usborne to spread the joys of learning through books. When she's not reading or doodling, she enjoys playing video games and adventuring in new worlds.
