Lucy Volpin

Lucy Volpin is a children’s book author and illustrator. Being wildly dyslexic, Lucy never imagined that she would not only be illustrating, but also writing stories, too! Lucy loves to capture expression and movement in her work, along with humor and silliness, by using pencils and watercolor. Her first picture book, We Love Dinosaurs (Nosy Crow), was published in August 2016. She lives in rural Devon, England, with her husband and enjoys spending time renovating their barn conversion, walking, singing, and making a mess in her studio.
