Karl Newson

Karl Newson is the award-winning author of children's books including How to Mend a Friend, The Same but Different Too, I am a Tiger and I Really, Really Need a Wee. He spends his days scribbling story ideas in his notebook or searching for them in the great big world outdoors. Karl was inspired to write his first picture book when his children were small and he's been writing stories ever since... His stories have been shortlisted for numerous children's books awards and are translated in over 20 languages around the world. When he isn't writing or drawing, he dreams of castles made of books and of rocketing to the moon to watch the world go by. Karl lives in London, with his partner and a forest of pot plants.
