Fiona Lumbers

Children's Illustrator

Biography

Fiona has drawn on anything and everything from an early age and always insisted she would be an artist when she grew up.

Fiona moved to London in 2000 to study for an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. A combination of her obsession with picture books and the arrival of her first son led her down the path of illustration and she hasn’t looked back since.

Nothing makes her happier than splashing watercolours and inks and conjuring up new characters – often influenced by the exploits of her two sons.

Mo's Stick

Mo is sad – the little mouse’s favourite stick is GONE! It could take Mo up to the stars and across the sea, and no other stick will ever be as good. But was it the stick that was special, or could it have been Mo’s wild and wonderful imagination?

A beautifully rendered celebration of imagination. This charming new character, created by the illustrator of the bestselling Luna Loves… series, is perfect for fans of characters such as Pip and PosyMaisy and Miffy. Mo captures the determination, creativity and expressiveness of young children. Beautifully rendered illustrations with collage elements make this hugely appealing for young readers. With clever die-cuts throughout, this is the perfect book to inspire imaginative play
