Emily Gravett

Emily Gravett - her books are wonderful! If you don't know them, track them down - Spells, Wolves, The Odd Egg, Meerkat Mail, Little Mouse's Book of Fears, Apple pear orange bear, The Rabbit problem... Each one so different from the last, so inventive, original and clever, from picture books for the very young to more sophisticated which might have a dark edge or a twist in the tail.
Here is her website http://emilygravett.com/
Lots of information, some activities, and check out the video of creating the artwork for The Rabbit Problem - blend of drawing talent and IT skills...

Here is an interview with Emily from The Bookseller - as it says, "Emily Gravett's path to pre-eminence has not been smooth; in fact it makes J K Rowling's rags-to-riches tale seem cosy by comparison. "
