Nicola Stacey (Writer): I was born in Birmingham, a wonderfully diverse city full of brilliant people! As I grew up, I loved to travel, visiting some of the places in this book! I've always believed that a smile, a wave and a big HELLO can be the start of new friendships and big adventures wherever you are!
Olivia Tarplee (Illustrator): I've always had a love for art and my mum reminds me that I showed talent at primary school! I have drawn ever since. I have seen the power that illustrations have in capturing a child's attention and sparking their imagination.

Say HELLO to the world! When one inventive girl builds a pair of whizzy, wheelie super shoes, she zooms into a fantastical adventure around the world. From crafting in her living room to swooping across the Pyrenees, soaring over the festive streets of Mexico and floating through the giant baobab trees of Senegal, this is a story of travel, imagination and friendship—powered by sticky tape, recycled boxes, and a lot of heart.
