The Catalan Pep Bruno is a writer, who has already written several books for OQO, like Pétala, The silly nanny goat or Count with me. In this publication he dares to open the doors of mystery.

Matteo Gubellini is a multi-prizewinning Italian artist, who has already worked for some of the most prestigious publisher´s houses of children´s books in Italy or France.
