BiographyEmma Chichester Clark was born in 1955 and studied at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, London, where she was taught by Quentin Blake. She lived in Ireland until 1975. She has worked as a freelance illustrator for various magazines including Cosmopolitan and The Sunday Times and has illustrated numerous book jackets.
In 1988 she won the Mother Goose Award as the most exciting newcomer to children's book illustration for her illustration of Listen to This (1987), a collection of short stories edited by Laura Cecil. Since then she has written and illustrated many acclaimed picture books, including the Melrose and Croc series, and a series of Blue Kangaroo stories, the first of which, I Love You, Blue Kangaroo! (1998) was shortlisted for the 1998 Kate Greenaway medal.
Quentin Blake describes her books as 'funny, elegant and delicious'.
