Collecting snippets and treasures from childhood and the small details of life Anna Walker draws inspiration from the world around her to create stories and pictures that reflect curiosity and wonder. Working with ink, pencil and collage Anna develops her characters and creates her illustrations in a Melbourne studio, shared with various wooly and feathery creatures.
Anna Walker has written and illustrated many award winning books for children, and her work is recognised internationally.
