Emma Quay grew up near Cambridge, England, and as a child drew little characters on every scrap of paper she could find. She wanted to be a children’s book illustrator from a very early age. Soon after college, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London purchased examples of Emma’s illustrative work, for its permanent collection of prints and drawings. After moving to Sydney in 1993, Emma was introduced to the publisher Mark Macleod with whom she has enjoyed working on five picture books to date. She both wrote and illustrated Reggie and Lu. Emma has also illustrated titles from the popular Aussie Nibbles series. Emma lives in Sydney with her Australian husband and two young daughters.
