Jessica Souhami’s work has featured on children’s television, on programmes including Watch (BBC Schools), Seeing and Doing (Thames TV), Storytime (BBC), Playschool (BBC), Everybody Here (Channel 4) and Rat-a-tat-tat (Channel 4) made a film about the way she worked to create her picture book No Dinner.

She is now a full-time author/illustrator of children’s books. Her books (published by Frances Lincoln) include The Leopard’s Drum, Old MacDonald (selected for Child Education Best Books), Rama and the Demon King, Silly Rhymes (selected by the TES for their guide to the National Year of Reading) and The Black Geese written by Alison Lurie, as well as No Dinner (the story of the Old Woman and the Pumpkin). In The Dark, Dark Wood is a lively retelling of a traditional rhyme packed with surprises.

   strength,action, vigour, expressiveness all shine through” The School Librarian.
