My Big Brother Boris Award-winning author by Liz Pichon (author and illustrator)

Because even crocodiles have feelings. (And stroppy teenage brothers with snout rings.) Families have never been so funny. Liz Pichon proves she’s a superstar of picture books in this Smarties Prize winner: a work of genius to rival Tom Gates. Little Croc and his big brother Boris live happily in a lovely part of the swamp. Or at least, they used to. Lately Boris has turned into a grumpy teenage croc. All he does is eat, sleep and listen to loud music. Gone are the days when Little Croc and Boris would swim and play together. Will things ever be the same again? A super-funny look at why brothers matter, with the cutest artwork around. Liz, we just love you.

Liz Pichon

When Liz was little, she loved to draw, paint and make things. Her mum used to say she was very good at making a mess (which is still true today!).

She kept drawing and went to art school, where she earned a degree in graphic design. She worked as a designer and art director in the music industry, and her freelance work has appeared on a wide variety of products.

Liz is the author-illustrator of several picture books. Tom Gates is the first series of books she has written and illustrated for older children. They have won several prestigious awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and the Blue Peter Book Award. The books have been translated into forty-one languages worldwide.
