"Child [...] turns out to be a superb storyteller, with her beautifully imagined fantasy landscape brought to life in lyrical prose..." - The Telegraph
For a very long time, the world was black and white...
Last Island is struggling. Colour has not reached them, their Notte is making mistake after mistake and now an Automated Night Sky salesman has come to town.
It's time for Umbertiska Lupp, a young islander with pockets full of cake, to take matters into her own hands and embark on an adventure to bring unity and colour to Last Island.
This beautiful gold-foiled hardback is filled with breathtaking illustrations that transition from black and white to colour, complete with a matching gold ribbon marker. This is the perfect gift for any intrepid young reader.
Katherine Child grew up in Devon, UK and studied illustration at Falmouth University in Cornwall. After a couple of years as a background artist for children's animation company King Rollo Films, she went back to Falmouth to study a masters in Authorial Illustration.
From 2010 to 2021, Katherine worked at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, photographing a wide variety of insects for multifarious reasons. Her photographs appeared on screen with Sir David Attenborough, in newspapers and books.
She now works as an author and illustrator, represented by Spring Literary.
