Lauren Child’s humorous illustrations contain many different mediums, including magazine cuttings, collage, material, and photography, as well as traditional watercolours. She was the Waterstones Children’s Laureate from 2017 to 2019.
She wrote her first children’s novel, Utterly Me, Clarice Bean in 1999. Her second book in this series, Clarice Bean Spells Trouble, was shortlisted for the 2005 British Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year. Lauren began writing a series familiar to Clarice Bean readers in 2009: the Ruby Redfort series, based on Clarice Bean’s favourite literary character.
