Sarah Horne grew up in Derbyshire, UK with some goats and a brother.
She learnt to draw whilst trying to explain her reasoning for an elaborate haircut at the age of nine. Sarah then honed her skills on the mean streets of Falmouth, studying Illustration. Here, there were daily street battles of scribbling resulting in many paper cuts, but some very nice drawing.
Alongside working on humorous children’s titles, Sarah has also worked on commissions forThe Guardian,The Sunday Times,Kew Gardens,Sesame Streetand for IKEA, as their Children’s Illustrator In Residence, which was coupled with an advertising campaign on tube entitled ‘Mythical Mealtimes’.
She now draws, writes and giggles, from underneath a pile of paper at her studio in London.
Sarah’s books have sold internationally in Mexico, Japan, Korea, Portugal, Germany, US, Australia and NZ.
