Emma Dodd

Emma was brought up in Guildford Surrey in a family of artists. As a child she loved the work of Peter Firmin John Burningham and Gerald Rose and from as far back as she can remember she wanted to be an illustrator. Emma studied Graphic Design and Illustration at Central Saint Martin's School of Art and has worked in advertising editorial and book illustration. The I Love You range has sold over 750000 copies and I Love My Mummy won the Book Trust Early Years Award. Emma lives in Surrey with her husband and two children and their terrier cross Buzz who keeps her fit and provides inspiration. The family like to spend any spare time in North Cornwall surfing and walking in all weathers.
