Annie White Illustrator & Author

Annie White illustrates and writes for children from her studio in Melbourne, Australia. After studying art and design, she worked in the advertising industry for a while and now freelances for a number of different publishers and other interested people. Annie has illustrated over 80 books for children and likes to communicate her ideas clearly and simply using expression and movement. Some of her picture books have appeared on the CBCA Notables list, the Speech Pathology short list and the Prime Minister's Literary Awards short list. Millie, the studio dog, who often slept under Annie's desk, helped inspire the Clementine series. Her habit of going from deep slumber to sudden excited barking often caused all sorts of chaos - from odd additions to drawings to spilt cups of tea.
