Lizzie Finlay has provided the illustrations for the stories of some of our favourite authors - Diana Kimpton and the Pony-Mad Princess Ellie series, Tony Bradman and 'Elvis the Squirrel', Susan Kelly and 'A Tale of Two Wolves'. Today, Lizzie tells you how she came to be an illustrator, how she does it, and invites you to have a go too. She'll also tell you about her new book, published in 2009. 'Dandylion' is a picture book she has written and illustrated herself.

Lizzie says she loves imaginative stories, bright colours and quirky characters so this is bound to be a fun session, and she will sign copies of her books at 1pm.
