Children's Author/Illustrator

Biography

Ellie grew up on the edge of the Fens in Lincolnshire, and lives there in a little white house by the river. After spending much of her time at school doodling covertly on the last pages of her exercise books, she went off to do a degree in Graphic Design at Bath Spa University, where she specialised in illustration, followed by a Master’s degree in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. After graduating in 2007, Ellie wrote and illustrated picture books alongside teaching art classes in a primary school, during which she invariably managed to get more paint on herself than the children did! Now freelance, she creates books and runs children’s art classes from her little studio, ably assisted by her basset hound, William.

Balancing Bernie

Bernie is a dog with a very special talent – he can balance absolutely anything!

One day Bernie gets a very unusual request from a furry friend – can Bernie balance this little dog, too? Soon, dogs from all over the park are hurrying up with a woof and a bark to join in Bernie’s brilliant balancing act! But don’t worry, Bernie would NEVER let them all fall . . .

A playful, bouncing read-aloud story, full of dogs of all shapes and sizes, from the creator of the Everybunny series!
