Meet the Author

Daniel Walten is a British author, actor, and singer. A native of Hampshire, England, Danny, as he’s known to family and friends, is currently based between London and the United States. Spending his childhood in Singapore, he began traveling and performing at an early age. He enjoyed a long and successful career in British theater and television, and he now tours the world as a solo performer and writer. Walten’s hugely popular show, Made in England continues to be a regular fixture in Las Vegas, on high-end cruise ships, and at venues across the US and UK.

As a regular entertainer for Top Rank promotions at World Championship boxing events, Walten frequently appears on ESPN, BT Sports, and Fox Sports, and has performed the British national anthem at marquee events including Britain's Tyson Fury and Amir Khan. This enviable position has led to some of his greatest career highlights and put him on stage at Madison Square Garden in New York, AT&T Stadium in Dallas, The Forum in Los Angeles, the MGM Grand and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and many other memorable venues.

His extensive world travels have taken him to scores of countries on every continent, and through these international experiences, he developed an appetite and talent for writing meaningful stories with important life lessons for the most significant audience of all — our children.

Jo-Anne Button was born and brought up in England. She was rarely without a pen in her hand during childhood, and by the tender age of six, she was already an aspiring designer and illustrator. Button graduated with a bachelor's degree in graphic design from the Norwich School of Art and Design. For the past twenty years she has worked in the advertising and publishing industry and has illustrated for magazines. Now married with a daughter and two rescue cats, her family is a constant source of inspiration for her drawings, and in fact, their influence helped shape a few of the featured characters in That Fat Cat Who Changed His Ways!
