Sophy is the creator of the much-loved Bad Nana fiction series, the Pom Pom series, the Ted board book series and has recently created the non-fiction titles Lifesize and Lifesize Dinosaurs. Her debut picture book Where Bear? was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize

“Delicious genius from Sophy Henn. I love living in Happy Hills! If eating a load of fizzy sweets and then sticking your head into a bag of kittens could be turned into a book, it would be THIS BOOK.” – Nadia Shireen
