Kubler, Annie: - Annie Kubler was born in the north east of France, in a mountainous area called the Vosges, where she spent her childhood. After studying Visual Communication at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, she moved to England in 1985 joining the Child's Play team led at the time by its founder Michael Twinn. For 40 years she has been their art director while also illustrating many books. Extremely proud to have played a part in building the inclusive and diverse Child's Play list, she hopes to have inspired many children in their reading journey. She now lives in the north west of the UK, close to wild and wonderful landscapes that she loves to explore on foot or on two wheels.
