About Karl Newson

Karl Newson (Author) Karl Newson is the award-winning author of children's books including How to Mend a Friend The Same but Different Too I am a Tiger and I Really Really Need a Wee. He spends his days scribbling story ideas in his notebook or searching for them in the great big world outdoors. Karl was inspired to write his first picture book when his children were small and he's been writing stories ever since... His stories have been shortlisted for numerous children's books awards and are translated in over 20 languages around the world. When he isn't writing or drawing he dreams of castles made of books and of rocketing to the moon to watch the world go by. Karl lives in London with his partner and a forest of pot plants.Clara Anganuzzi (Illustrator) Clara would draw on every surface she could find (including some very unhappy tortoises) whilst growing up in the Seychelles. She has always had a fond love for animals and creating characters with subtle gentle humour. Using a mixture of traditional techniques ranging from monoprinting to pencil marks Clara enjoys creating narrative images and a sense of place in limited colour palettes. After studying BA illustration at Falmouth University she went on to complete a MA Children's Illustration course at Anglia Ruskin which helped her gain personal voice inspiration and motivation.
