Dig Dig Dinosaur is her first illustrated picture book having published numerous non-fiction titles and board books in her 10 year career as a children's illustrator. She now works and lives in East London and when she's not buried in books at her desk you'll probably find her raiding a second hand book shop for a vintage picture book gem.
