Biographie de Liz Pichon
When Liz was little, she loved to draw, paint, and make things. Her mom used to say she was very good at making a mess (which is still true today ! ). She kept drawing and went to art school, where she earned a degree in graphic design. She worked as a designer and art director in the music industry, and her freelance work has appeared on a wide variety of products. Liz is the author-illustrator of several picture books.
Tom Gates is the first series of books she has written and illustrated for older children. They have won several prestigious awards , including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, and the Blue Peter Book Award. The books have been translated into more than thirty-three languages worldwide. Liz works in a nice cozy shed in her yard and lives in (mostly) sunny Brighton with her husband and three (not so little anymore) children.
She doesn't have a pet but she does have lots of squirrels in the yard that eat everything in sight (including her tulip bulbs, which is annoying).
