Author Information

Alyssa is a thirty-something primary school teacher and mum of two rowdy little boys - both constant sources of inspiration (and exhaustion!).Her days run on creativity and caffeine, along with a soft spot for pygmy hippos, anything pink, and an ever-growing stack of psychological thrillers by her bedside. Writing children's books has been a lifelong dream, and in 2025 she released her debut title 'Mum Dreams of Coffee Beans' in collaboration with a close friend who lovingly hand-illustrated every page.'Shhh! Our Teacher is Sleeping! ' is her second manuscript, originally written during maternity leave with a baby on one hip. Drawing on her experience in the classroom, Alyssa creates stories that capture what children love most - playful rhyme, a touch of chaos, and books they'll want to hear again and again. Suhanya has always loved turning stories into beautiful, meaningful illustrations. You can see her imagination and heart sketched into every page of this book. She is a children's picture book illustrator based in Colombo, Sri Lanka and finds so much joy in bringing an author's vision to life. Through colourful and detailed illustrations, she hopes to spark curiosity and capture the magic of storytelling for every young reader.Alongside illustrating, Suhanya is also a Brand Designer and the founder of 'Letters by Su'. Through her design studio, she has worked with many brands, helping them transform through memorable and aesthetic branding.Drawing inspiration from travelling, time by the beach and getting lost in a good book are a few of the simple moments behind her illustrations.
