    About the Illustrator

    Sophia O’Connor is an illustrator living on the South East coast of Cornwall. She has been painting and making for as long as she can remember. A need to work with her hands alongside a love for storytelling led her to study Illustration and animation at Kingston University, and she has been drawing away since graduating in 2012. Her illustrations are hand-drawn using mixed media such as ink, gouache, oil pastels, and more. She loves to experiment with mark-making to create rich textures and atmospheric illustrations for children’s picture books, surface design, reportage illustration, and more. She draws inspiration from many areas of life but is endlessly inspired by Cornwall’s beautiful and vast landscapes. When she’s not drawing, she can be found on nearby beaches with her canine friends.

      This book has soft illustrations which my grandkids would like. The helpful nature of the bear has a lot to learn from in a non-threatening way.
