When Liz
was little, she loved
to draw, paint and make things.
Her mum used to say she was very good at making a mess (which is still true today!).
She kept drawing and went to art school,
where she earned a degree in graphic design.
She worked as a designer and art director in
the music industry, and her freelance work
has appeared on a wide variety of products.
Liz is the author-illustrator of several
picture books. Tom Gates is the first series of
books she has written and illustrated for older
children. They have won several prestigious
awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize,
the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and the
Blue Peter Book Award. The books have been
translated into forty-one languages worldwide.
