Simon Abbott

Award-winning author and illustrator Simon Abbott has been illustrating and writing children’s books for over 15 years.

He specialises in bold colours and delightful characters of all kinds and describes his work as fun, fresh and happy.

His easy style has instant appeal and helps to communicate complex ideas and concepts in a flash. Whether he is drawing playground fun, astronauts, dinosaurs or monkeys swinging through trees, his art is always engaging and is guaranteed to make children smile.

Simon lives and works in Suffolk, UK, with his partner, their three boys and two cats called Brian and Sheila. When he hasn’t got a pen or paintbrush in his hand, he enjoys live music, running and chocolate ice-cream (or anything chocolate based!).
