Deborah Allwright
Deborah Allwright has illustrated over 40 picture books including There's a Monster in my Fridge, The Night Pirates and There is No Dragon in this Story, which has been shortlisted for an award! The Night Pirates was turned into a play by the Rose Theatre, London.
When she was a girl, she once snuck out of her cousins' house at night, climbed a fence and went riding on a neighbour's horse. She was never found out... until now!
Deborah says, "I start creating my characters by sketching them in pencil. I do many many versions until they look like they might spring to life. I usually colour them with gouache or acrylic paint and sometimes I also like to collage with different papers to give the illustration texture. Then for the final book illustrations I finish using my computer to make a good composition."
Discover a spooky house full of friendly monsters in this fun-packed, rhyming story full of silliness. With clever split pages and loads of monstery details to spot, this book will delight young children and banish fear of monsters for ever!
Great Fun!
