About the Illustrator
Mikki Butterley has illustrated everything from greetings cards, to bibles for children, to picture books. She studied graphic design at Blackpool College of Art and Design, after which she worked for a local greeting card company, learning the skills of emboss, die-cut and foil drawings (no computers in those days!), and eventually moved on to freelance illustrating. She then spent 10 years as a senior in-house artist for Hallmark greeting cards before moving back to freelancing to have more time to travel and be with family. Her favorite places to visit are old halls and castles (especially their gardens!), her family's cabin in England's Lake District, and anywhere with a jungle. She lives with her family in South Yorkshire, England.
