Blown Away - Couverture souple

When not writing and illustrating his own books, Rob is the award-winning art director of the Observer magazine. He lives in London with his wife and three daughters (all GRRRRReat) and likes telling stories and drawing pictures—especially of bears in headbands.  While Rob doesn’t know any bears personally, he does live next door to a dog whose name is Bear. So that sort of counts.

Rob’s first book, Blown Away, won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2015. The Antarctic adventure blew everyone away and is a delight for children and penguins everywhere.
