Sophie Beer is an award-winning author and illustrator based in Brisbane, Australia. She works primarily in children's books and has published with HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Walker, Scholastic, Hardie Grant and many more. She rejoices in creating bright, funny picture books that centre equality, inclusion and kindness. As an illustrator, she has worked with Disney/Pixar, Google and the Sydney Opera House, and she has collaborated with Myer for her own line of children's homewares. When Sophie is not illustrating and writing, she thinks a lot about plants, animals, music, books, equality, and Aldi choc-chip biscuits.
