Nick Sharratt

Nick Sharratt’s illustrations are some of the most distinctive in the whole of children’s publishing. After graduating from St. Martin’s School of Art in 1984, Sharratt embarked on a career in picture book art that has spanned over three decades and resulted in nearly 250 published works, so far. Amongst his most famous is the wonderfully imaginative You Choose series with Pippa Goodhart, where children are able to select everything from their favourite mode of travel to their ultimate fantasy friend, and the hilarious Shark in the Park, with its interactive die-cut pages.  Bright, zany and incredibly vivid his illustrations have graced the books of Jacqueline Wilson, Julia Donaldson and Michael Rosen - amongst many, many others - and have earned him a hoard of trophies, from the Children's Book Award to the Bookbug Picture Book Prize.
