Karen Blair Illustrator & Author

Karen Blair made her first picture book when she was nine, for a school project, and by the time she was in her 20s (and living in the UK) she knew it was her dream to continue. Baby Beats is her third book with Walker and is a companion title to Baby Animal Farm (2012). Karen now lives in Fremantle, Western Australia, with her husband and two cats and works part-time as a primary-school art teacher.
