Harriet Lynas is a children’s book illustrator living in Cambridge with her husband and their son. As a child, she was a big fan of Studio Ghibli animations and later she developed a taste for mid-century style illustrations. Harriet’s inspiration comes from random things like marvellous fossils or a cone of pistachio gelato on a hot summer day.
Giang has been working as a children’s book illustrator for more than 10 years. She works in a studio with her partner and three cats. She also loves comics and graphic novels, and dreams of one day finding the time to make her own comic book.
Harriet's first word was 'book', and she's loved stories ever since, so it's a dream come true to end up writing her own. When not writing, Harriet works in television. But she's happiest with a pencil in one hand, a cup of tea in the other, brewing up her next story.
