Chloe Inkpen grew up surrounded by picture books and has a natural gift for storytelling. A love of language and art saw her swap her English Literature course for a degree in Visual Communication at Glasgow School of Art. She spent her final year specialising in children's book illustration and was awarded second place in the Macmillan Prize for Illustration 2008. She has now published 6 picture book stories in the Zoe and Beans series, working with her father, Mick Inkpen. Chloe lives in London.
Mick Inkpen is one of today's most popular picture book author/illustrators and the famous creator of both Kipper and Wibbly Pig. Mick has won the Children's Book Award for 'Threadbear' and the British Book Award twice, for 'Penguin Small' and 'Lullabyhullaballoo' and Kipper won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film in 1998. I wasn't until Mick became a father that he began his career in children's books. Now father and daughter work together in a unique and exciting picture book partnership. Mick lives in Suffolk.
