Abi Tompkins is a Filipino illustrator born in Brighton, currently residing along the English seaside. She loves her job--the world is a colorful place and needs to be explored! At a young age, she would always have colored pencils and sketchbooks with her, and her dad would copy Where's Wally? pages for her to color in. She went on to study traditional animation and film at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth (now known as Arts University Bournemouth). Abi also worked on the Harry Potter movies before devoting herself to her first love, children's picture books. Visit her at AbiTompkins.com.
