Katrina has spent her life surrounded by books ever since her first visit to the library when she was tiny. She now lives in a house full of bookshelves fit to bursting, and continues to fill them with books that she has written.
She recently won Booktrust's Story Time prize for her and Nick Sharratt's picture book The Whales on the Bus.
When she's not writing for children, she is cuddled up with one of her fluffy cats and a good book, or plucking cat hairs off her clothes. Angie was born into a big unruly family in Kent. Ever since she was little, all she ever wanted to do was to draw and paint and she still can't quite believe her luck that she's now allowed to do this all day and call it her 'job'. Apart from illustrating picture books, Angie works with companies around the world to create illustrations for greeting cards, games, toys, puzzles, calendars and clothing. In 2017 she set up the brand PlanetCat® to license a range of her popular cat illustrations from her Instagram account: @angierozelaar. Angie and her family are now based in France, where they live in an old Normandy farmhouse alongside a growing menagerie of rescue animals, including cats, chickens and donkeys. |
