About the Author

Katie Cottle is a Welsh illustrator who now lives in Bristol. She's illustrated a number of children's books, and she's written a few, too.

Katie uses lots of bright colours (orange being a particular favourite), lots of texture and has lots of fun with characters.

When she's not drawing, she's probably hanging out with her cat (Beanie) or feeding the ducks that live nearby.
