Candy James
Candy James is the pseudonym of husband-and-wife creative duo Candy and James Robertson, originally from Hong Kong and New Zealand. They met in high school art class and now live on a hill in the forest just outside Australia's premier gold-rush city, Ballarat. Their award-winning toy designs have been stocked everywhere from one-star-rated eBay sellers to fancy museums like the MoMA. Their work has been featured alongside Hello Kitty, Hot Wheels, and even on wedding and birthday cakes. They are product designers, branding specialists, and graphic designers with a love of manga, animation, and mid-century design. When they are not making funny books for children, they can usually be found hiking, gardening, cooking, or teaching their doggy a new trick. Visit them at candyjames.com.
Much like Winnie-the-Pooh, before Archie & Reddie became characters in a book, they started out as two beloved stuffed animals that belonged to the creators' daughter. Candy and James provided their voices and performed all sorts of stories to help their child grow, overcome challenges, and simply have fun. Now that she's a bit older, Candy and James felt like it was finally time to share their stories with the world.
