Dee Shulman

Dee Shulman has written and /or illustrated about fifty books for children, ranging from board books to teenage fiction. Her books have been translated into many languages, including Japanese, Italian, Dutch, and Finnish - though she has no idea how accurately! Her books have been highly recommended in the press and on radio and she's been shortlisted for numerous awards.

Dee has a degree in English from York University and went on to study Illustration at Harrow School of Art. She began her illustration career in magazines, book-jackets, cartoon strips and pop-video storyboards, and only started writing for children when her own children were small. In spite of a diet of gummy bears and sherbert fountains her children have insisted on growing up - so her characters have had to grow up with them, and now even they refuse to do what they're told!
