Lee Cosgrove (Illustrator) Lee Cosgrove is a children's illustrator from a small town on the banks of the River Mersey. A lifelong doodler, his love of drawing is inspired by a childhood of Saturday morning cartoons, den-building adventures and an endless supply of crayons.

He loves to bring humour and lots of character to his illustrations.
