Her Dad taught her how to hold a cricket bat, prune roses and master long division while her Mum fed her a nutritious diet of Fairy tales, Pam Ayres and Yorkshire puddings. A love of bookish things led to a degree in English literature, an MA in Children's Literature and a career in publishing. The GEA helped Mariesa turn her scribbles into stories - she now writes picture books about identity and family life. Mariesa is a Primary School Librarian and lives with her family in West London.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCobb, Rebecca:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eRebecca Cobb \u003c\/b\u003egrew up surrounded by coloured pencils, felt pens, wax crayons, poster paints and pieces of paper.
