About the author

I am an illustrator, currently living in Manchester, England. I graduated in 2011 and have been gradually developing my working practice since. I spend a lot of time staring into space, walking around, drinking tea and watching films until an idea very gentle hits me in the face. My first Picture book ‘Penguin in Peril’ was published in 2013 by Templar publishing and was the UK’s best selling debut picture book that year and has gone on to been nominated for a host of awards. My second picture book ‘William and the Missing Masterpiece’ published by Templar will be released May 2014. My work has also featured in ‘The Skinny‘, Ceramic Review and The Lincoln Film Festival.

Helen Hancocks graduated in 2011 with a degree in illustration and animation from Manchester School of Art. She uses a mixture of crayon, watercolor, ink, and pen, combined digitally. Her work often features cats.
