Julia Groves

Julia is a UK based children's book illustrator and graduate of the prestigious Children's Book Illustration MA at Cambridge School of Art.

Animal Babies were her very first books. They have been described by book reviewer Emma O'Donovan as "Astonishingly beautiful early years books - content rich, stylish and full of warmth" and were recently featured in Baby London magazine.

Animal Babies have received a starred Kirkus review "Readers hoping to share beautiful, age-appropriate images and accurate terminology should look no further than this book and its companions, bracing antidotes to the cuteness that floods the board-book shelves."RAINFOREST, is her new picture book! Each page is devoted to a different animal from the Amazon rainforest, there is a detailed fact finder at the end of the book. With spot gloss lamination on the cover and beautiful rich, colourful illustrations, this is a book to treasure. Suitable for ages 3-6 years.
