Biography

After years of working in the transport industry and raising a son and daughter, Kate Prendergast's growing interest in illustration led to an MA degree in Childrens' Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. This is Kate's third picture book and a change of artwork style as her previous titles Dog On A Train and Dog On A Digger were both black and white illustrations.
