Biography
Rob Biddulph is an award-winning author and illustrator who lives in London with his wife, daughters and Ringo the cocker spaniel.
Before life as a published author and illustrator, Rob worked on magazines including Just Seventeen, NME and The Observer Magazine. His first picture book, Blown Away, published in 2014, was only the second picture book to win the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
Since then, Rob has illustrated eleven of his own picture books and created a range of bestselling activity books. He launched his debut middle-grade fiction series in 2021 with the publication of Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City.
Rob’s series of #Draw with Rob videos, designed to help parents with children at home from school due to the pandemic, became a viral hit when launched in March 2020. The videos – featuring many of Rob’s own book characters – have captured the imaginations of families, children and artists, young and old, around the world. They have been watched almost six million times on YouTube alone.
