Lynne Chapman

Lynne Chapman has worked as a freelance illustrator for nearly 20 years, but she wasn't always a children's illustrator (in fact, she originally trained as a textile designer).

She started off designing cards and giftware, then spent many years illustrating for a wide range of magazines and newspapers - everything from the Sunday Times, down to those strange trade magazines you get on 'Have I Got News For You'.

These days she specialises in writing and illustrating children's books, and she is delighted to discover that this means she also get invited to work with children in schools and libraries!

When You're Not Looking is the first book to be both written and illustrated by Lynne Chapman.
