Keysha Naomi Binns was born 1985 in Liverpool, England, and raised in Toxteth. She is a qualified nursery nurse and a graduate of the University of Liverpool, where she received a BSc (Hons) in Psychology.

Her inspiration to write children's books came after many years of trying to encourage young children to brush their teeth at nursery. Passionate about capturing the attention of youngsters during story time, Keysha thought this would be a great way to engage in dental hygiene from an early age.
