Authors and illustrators

Olivier Latyk

With his bright, bold palette, Olivier’s fun artwork pops right off the page! He lives in Arles, France and has worked on over 100 children’s books as well as producing work across the advertising and design market internationally.
Aikido and sea fishing are just two of the things Olivier enjoys when he is not working.
