Aya Watanabe loves to explore imaginary worlds and express her inner child through art. After working in advertising for many years, she started freelancing as an illustrator. Her works range from picture books to editorial, book covers, stationery and advertisements, and was selected for Bologna Children's Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition in 2017. Aya uses a combination of traditional media, such as acrylic, coloured pencils, crayons, and digital techniques. She is also a devoted gardener, a wannabe entomologist, a compulsive tropical beach-goer, an avid sushi lover, and lives in Tokyo, Japan with her pet caterpillars.
'a joyful and interactive boardbook for babies and toddlers that makes fruit lots of fun for even the fussiest eaters.' -- Ruth Concannon * Children's Books Ireland *
