Liz Pichon is the bestselling British author and illustrator behind the multi-award-winning Tom Gates series of children's books, which have sold over 16 million copies worldwide. Her distinctive style, which combines text with a high volume of doodles and illustrations in a diary format, was influenced by her own experiences with undiagnosed dyslexia and a desire to create engaging books for reluctant readers. Before becoming a celebrated author and illustrator, Liz worked as an art director in the music industry. The success of her first Tom Gates book in 2011, which won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, launched a global phenomenon that has since been adapted into an animated television series and a stage show.
