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.
