Product description

If Axel Scheffler is the king of picture book art, Alex is definitely the prince. He’s young, he’s handsome and his amazing books are making BIG waves. Why? They’re clever, funny and charming: just like him. No wonder! Alex’s heroes have big dreams and bright little faces. His stories are sweet and magical. Oh yes – and the costumes are superb. We think you’ll agree: once you’ve seen Alex’s quirky style, you can’t mistake him for anyone else. He’s unique.

Alex was the official 2014 World Book Day artist

His Claude series is a Richard and Judy favourite

He has won and been shortlisted for several awards

Alex T. Smith

Alex T. Smith was born in 1985 and has drawn and written stories since he could hold a pencil.

After considering several career options (space traveler, cake maker, professional rabbit), Alex decided to train to do the job he’d wanted to do since he was five – a children’s books illustrator.

Alex graduated with a 1st Class Hons degree in Illustration and, having won second place in the Macmillan Prize for Children’s Picture Book Illustration in his final year, began working on his first commission as he put his degree show up!

Since then Alex has gone on to write and illustrate his own books – many of which have won prizes and have been read on TV during the Bedtime Hour on CBeebies, as well as illustrating books for several different authors.

Alex is also the creator of the CLAUDE series for early readers. CLAUDE in the City was selected for the Richard and Judy Children’s Book Club 2011 and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2012.

When not working, Alex enjoys doodling in his sketchbook, reading, people-watching and eavesdropping. He is also a big fan of cake and a nice cup of tea and a sit down.

He lives with and under the constant ‘supervision’ of his canine companions – two very tiny, very naughty chihuahuas (Coco and Mr. Bongo) and an ancient and very bossy Yorkshire Terrier, Lucy Locket.
