Lauren O’Hara is an illustrator from the north of England.
As a child she loved reading fairy tales, painting insects and
listening to her grandmother’s stories. She studied art and
illustration at Kingston University and then designed window
displays and props for films. Lauren’s career as an illustrator
began when she and her sister, Natalia worked together on a picture
book, Hortense and the Shadow. This was published in 2017 and
followed in 2018 by The Bandit Queen. Lauren lives in a converted
church in Dublin, Ireland with her partner, their cat Ida and
assorted ghosts.
Her drawings are completely beautiful… It’s so magical and the
words and the drawings really do weave together in this symbiosis
which completely transported me when I read it to be being read to
as a kid [...] I had completely forgotten what it’s like when you
find a story that’s so vivid and imaginative and the pictures and
the words align so perfectly that you literally every night feel
that you are stepping into a page with your mum.

Illustrated with airy, light-hearted charm by Lauren O’Hara…This
longer-form picture book taps astutely
into the imaginative life of an adventurous child.

Dahl’s engaging style – teamed with Lauren O’Hara’s gorgeous
illustrations – make it a book to remember.
*Press Association (SYNDICATED)*
This is a charming story about unexpected friendships and the power
of imagination.
