Authors and illustrators

Grace Habib

Florence Weiser

Florence is a French illustrator currently based in beautiful (but rainy!) Belgium. She never planned to become a teacher or an astronaut, or even a comedian but always knew she wanted to draw and draw some more. She now lives and works in a fairytale trailer in the midst of a magical garden, where she gathers most of her inspiration.

Frances Ives

Frances Ives’ love of all things drawing started in childhood, when she dived into an obsession with poster paints and making a big mess on every available surface. This hasn’t changed much. She still works primarily in water-based media, but these days she mostly tries to keep it on the paper. Frances takes her inspiration from the structures and people that surround her, drawing from both observation and memory. Her most abiding source of inspiration is still the constant yet ever-changing sky, and all of its colours.

Frank Endersby

On leaving Art College, Frank Endersby worked in an Art Studio as an illustrator. He then set up his own studio, initially illustrating games, board books and jigsaw puzzles. Frank has also illustrated The Wishing Star and Babbity’s Big Bad Mood for Little Tiger Press.

He is a graduate of Cambridge School of Art’s MA in Children’s Book Illustration, who in another life did five BBC Radio 1 John Peel sessions. He loves dogs and travelling across the moors in trains.
