Harriet Lynas Author & Illustrator

Isabel Otter is a children's book editor and writer. She grew up in rural Herefordshire and is happiest climbing mountains in muddy boots. Isabel loves weaving stories and writing about the world around her. Harriet Lynas is a children's book illustrator living in Cambridge with her husband and their son. As a child, she was a big fan of Studio Ghibli animations and later she developed a taste for mid-century style illustrations. Harriet's inspiration comes from random things like marvellous fossils or a cone of pistachio gelato on a hot summer day.
