Alex Latimer

I'm a picture book writer and illustrator based in Cape Town, South Africa. I stay in a quiet sea-side suburb only about forty minutes drive from the centre of the city. My first picture book The Boy Who Cried Ninja came out in 2011 and since then I've published many more including Don't Think of Tigers, The Duck Never Blinks, Godfrey is a Frog, Am I Yours? and Dinosaur Hide-and-Seek. My latest series for newly independent readers is Gordon the Meanest Goose on Earth - about a mean goose who is in the process of changing his ways.
