    Chae Strathie is an award-winning children's author and journalist whose formative years spent in a small village surrounded by a Scottish forest likely shaped his imagination. His early foray into professional writing involved crafting a Star Wars comic at the tender age of seven. A familiar face at major book festivals, Strathie has toured extensively, bringing his stories and engaging performances to schools across the UK and beyond. He currently resides in Dundee with his feline companions and a venerable goldfish.
