Amandine Thomas on Superpeer

Award-winning illustrator

I am a French award-winning author and illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. At age four, I announced to a bewildered family that I would become a children’s book illustrator, and grew up writing and illustrating short stories that I compiled into crooked, clumsily-stapled booklets. Fast forward to present-day, and not much has changed: through empowering stories illustrated in a playful and lively style, I explore the themes I am passionate about, such as our environment – and the many ways in which it can inspire and amaze us – or the connections we foster with others, with ourselves and with the world around us.
