About the Author

James created his first Katie book 'Katie's Picture Show' over twenty years ago as a way to share his enthusiasm for art with children. His series of eight Katie books are much-loved and respected as an early introduction to art. 'Ella Bella Ballerina and The Sleeping Beauty' was James' first title featuring the adorable ballerina, which was quickly followed by the glorious 'Ella Bella and Cinderella'. Look out for 'Ella Bella and Swan Lake', the next title in the series. Each story has been illustrated using a new delightfully retro art style. James lives in Letchworth, Hertfordshire with his wife and son.
