Helen Stephens

Helen is an award-winning author, illustrator, best known for her international bestselling How to Hide a Lion series. Her books are published in about 30 languages worldwide. Helen loves to try new ways of working: some books are made by hand on paper, some are a hybrid of handmade and digital, and recently Helen made a picture book entirely on Procreate. She lives on the windy Northumberland coast with her family and her dog, Peggy. Her most recent book, Smelly Peggy, is named after and inspired by her dog and published by Walker Books.

His latest picture book A Climate in Chaos and how you can help was published by Wren and Rook in 2020.
