As a child

As a child, I often wore my shoes on the wrong feet. I always loved making camps and hideouts with my sister, and I spent hours playing with the frogs and newts in our pond. I used to draw all the time and make books, and frequently read Asterix and Tintin books behind the sofa. My first book was called Tom and the Monster, which I wrote, aged five. It was nine pages long and written in fat blue felt-tip pen. I once won a drawing prize at school and my prize was a disc-camera and I got to personally meet The Krankies!

As an adult

My mum first inspired me to illustrate children's books as she has illustrated five of them. I knew my future would be in books because, whilst at college and university, I would respond to most of the projects with work presented in book form. I was very lucky to receive my first "proper" children's book commission from Walker Books when I graduated in 1996. This was June Crebbin's Cows in the Kitchen. I now live in Tonbridge with my husband and work in London in a shared studio.

As an artist

I had my first book, Jack's Tummy, which I also wrote, published whilst still at university and this confirmed to me my wish to illustrate further books. Since Walker Books got me started in the world of professional illustration, I have illustrated around twenty-five titles. I have yet to illustrate another story of my own, but I find the writing part a lot trickier than the illustrating.

Lily wants to bring in something really special for Show and Tell. But she doesn't want her chocolate bunny nibbled or her puppets' strings to get tangled.

Nearly everyone believes her - some even claim they saw it move too!
