Authors and illustrators

Marcelo Badari is from Brazil and likes to create illustrations focused on ideas and characters, with pinches of humour and personal vision. His illustrations have been featured in magazines, books, posters, T-shirts, newspapers and websites in Brazil, USA and Europe. In his spare time he likes to create music and videos, and he enjoys hiking and meditation.

Marion Lindsay grew up drawing pictures and inventing stories so it made sense that she would end up being a children’s book illustrator. She studied at Cambridge School of Art, graduating in 2010 with a master’s degree in children’s book illustration and the Egmont Best New Talent Award. She lives in Cambridge and draws all day long, in her spare time she decorates things that don’t move fast enough to get out of the way.

Mark spent his childhood drawing, playing football till dark, and reading Marvel superhero comics. He didn’t make it as a footballer or superhero, so he became the next best thing: a writer and illustrator of children’s books. Mark lives in Warwickshire with his wife and his two little superheroes, who happily play football till dark with their dad!

Maxime Lebrun always loved to draw and colour as a kid, watching clouds through the windows at school and drawing dinosaurs in his school books till he studied youth illustration and animation for a degree in Epinal, France. He’s been working as a freelance illustrator for the past couple of years while living in London. He loves telling stories in his images, and playing with light and colours.
