Lirios Bou Author & Illustrator

Harriet Evans works in children's publishing and spends her days researching cool animal facts, imagining awesome adventures and drinking copious amounts of tea. Lirios Bou didn't always know she wanted to be an illustrator, actually she wanted to be many things: teacher, journalist, photographer, writer... But finally, drawing was the most fun option! She studied Illustration, Fine Arts and a Master's degree in Arts Education. She started drawing professionally in 2014 and since then, her drawings have been used in educational books, magazines, and children’s books. She lives in Valencia and shares her studio with Blai, her adorable/crazy dog.
