Hello 👋🏻 

Claire is a New York Times best selling children’s book illustrator who got her first book deal in 2016 and has never looked back.

Claire’s collaboration with Beth Lincoln on The Swifts was an instant New York Times bestseller and The King’s Birthday Suit–her picture book with Peter Bently–was shortlisted for a LOLLIE in 2023. Montgomery BonBon was chosen as Indie Book of the Month in the same year. Her collaborations with Kes Gray and Simon Farnaby all topped the charts to become bestsellers in the UK.

After spending many years in London, Claire now enjoys a quieter life in the rolling hills of Derbyshire with her partner Stefan (who may not agree that living with Claire is quiet).
