About the Author

Freya Hartas is a UK based illustrator specialising in children’s books. She lives in the vibrant city of Bristol with her partner and their ancient black cat Katsu and works from her cosy, cluttered desk in a shared studio down the road. She graduated from Falmouth University with a first-class honours in BA Illustration in 2014. Freya loves to conjure up humorous characters, animals and monsters, creating the most fantastical worlds for them to inhabit and get lost in. Her first title with Magic Cat, Slow Down, was an instant hit around the world, selling in more than 16 languages.
Industry Reviews
Praise for Slow Down:

"An enchanting exploration of everyday miracles. Splendiferous!"
- starred review, Kirkus ***

"This cosily illustrated volume wants us to take time to stand and stare, paying attention to everyday natural events, many of which can be appreciated in a garden or indoors through a window"
- The Sunday Times *** A Bookseller Editor's Choice book ***

"Fifty moments in nature are captured in slowed-down double page spreads: a cresting wave, a hatching chick, a bee pollinating a flower. The effect is magical."
Fiona Noble, The Bookseller ***

"A wonderful book for inspiring a love of the natural world."
- The Bookseller
