Meet the team
Author and experienced children’s yoga teacher Snezana Danilovic and illustrator Sandy Thornton team up to create the Happy Panda Children’s Yoga picture book series of heart-warming stories, full of gentle humour and aimed at encouraging even very young children to get hooked on yoga.
Snezana Danilovic is a children’s author and an experienced children’s yoga teacher. Her mission is to bring yoga to children through her passion for storytelling. She has spent the last 30 years writing and working in theatre and children’s TV, creating an array of characters for pre-school and early years. Snezana lives in Windsor with her husband, two children and a hamster. She loves hugging trees and her house is full of balloons and musical instruments!

We are two friends who have always loved picture books. We have made picture books together ever since we met many moons ago while working as nannies in Camden Town. Our journey has taken us through children’s TV, children’s theatre and art and craft clubs.
