I'm an award-winning South African writer and illustrator represented by the UK-based Bell Lomax Moreton Agency. My picture books have been translated into dozens of languages and have been published all over the world. I live in Cape Town and I enjoy spending time in the sea or in the mountains above my house. I love making picture books and writing novels and I'm always working on (at least) one of each.
