I couldn’t be more delighted to be bringing Timi’s story to book-life with the incredible team at Knights Of. Hugest thanks to Eishar Brar, Aimée Felone, David Stevens, Marssaié, Danielle Shaw and Tia Ajala.
My gratitude for my agent Clare Wallace is as far-reaching as the branches of Timi’s tree. Biggest thanks to all the team at Darley Anderson, especially Mary Darby, Lydia Silver, Kristina Egan, Georgia Fuller, Sheila David, Rosanna Bellingham and Chloe Davis.
Thank you to Sojung Kim-McCarthy for creating illustrations that are full of wonder, magic and hope.
To Dan and B, thank you for sitting in trees with me and helping me to dream and make.
