Thanks for stopping by
Hi, I’m Sarah.
I am a children’s book author/illustrator living on a narrowboat in Lancashire, UK. with my husband and my two little dogs, Paul and Alice.
I am always writing stories and creating little worlds filled with cute characters for books, kids products and surface patterns.
I have illustrated a variety of children's picture books including the bestselling children's yoga book, Good Night Yoga, selling over 200,000 copies worldwide.
I create my illustrations using both traditional and digital methods. I love to paint using acrylic paints and have recently fallen in love with digital painting, using Procreate.
Hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
If you would like to work with me, please contact my agent Liz Nealon at Great Dog Literary:
A Little Bit About Me
My first inspiration, as a little girl, were the well-loved fairytale collection by Ladybird Books. When I was asked to illustrate the new editions of "The Three Little Pigs" and "The Elves and The Shoemaker" for Ladybird. I was over the moon!!!!!
My passion for art and yoga merged when I illustrated a yoga book with mariam gates and publisher Sounds True . This blossomed into the Bestselling Good Night Yoga series leading on to my little Yoga book series that I am ever so proud of - Yoga Bug, Yoga Whale, Yoga Bear and Yoga Bunny
