Kind Little Hands

Kathy Urban is a children's book writer and journalist who has reported on news, entertainment and environmental stories for more than a decade. Her books are inspired by her experiences as a parent and cherished childhood recollections of muddy forest adventures, building homes for tiny insects and a shelf filled with Astrid Lindgren books. As well as the UK, Kathy has lived in the US, Denmark, Germany, and now calls Dubai her home.

She later went on to study Illustration and Graphic Design at Edinburgh College of Art before settling in Glasgow, where she now lives with her family. Her stories and illustrations are inspired by everyday things in children's lives and the small simple world they inhabit.
