About the author

Mo is best-known for writing the bestselling My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series for Macmillan Children's Books.
Ada Grey grew up in a doodling household with parents who ran a small chain of bookshops so it was no surprise that she went on to study and work as an illustrator.

With this many people to love, why have a family tree when you can have a family forest?

Families today are far from the nuclear family that used to be the norm - and this book celebrates that diversity. More People to Love Me takes a very positive view of this situation, emphasising the fact that the little girl, whose family is huge, has lots of people to love her.
