For as long as she can remember, Kate has loved drawing and painting. Outdoor holidays with her family inspired hours of doodling animals and nature. She is the illustrator for both the Christmas and Easter Decorations titles, and has a number of books being published, including Blackbird, Blackbird, What Do You Do? (Hodder Children's Books) and What's Below (Egmont). Kate lives in Edinburgh with her husband and two children. Her website and blog can be found at www.katemclelland.com
