Katie Saunders knew she wanted to be an illustrator when she had a picture published in Twinkie Magazine at the age of five. After graduating with a First from the University of Central Lancashire, she worked as an Art and Drama teacher before becoming a full-time illustrator of children's books and greetings cards. Katie enjoys working with bright colours and experimenting with different textures to create cute characters that children will love. Katie lives in Kent with her partner and two children.
