Picture Books
For more than 30 years, Catherine and Laurence Anholt have been recognised as one of the world’s most successful author/artist teams.
From their studios overlooking the sea in southwest England, Catherine and Laurence have created more than 200 children’s books, which are published in 30 languages around the world.
Their books have won numerous awards including the Nestlé Smarties Gold Award on two occasions.
The Anholts have been amongst the 150 Most Borrowed Authors from UK Libraries for over ten years and Laurence was included in the Independent On Sunday ‘Top 10 Children’s Authors in the UK’.
Their books range from Laurence’s self-illustrated ANHOLT’S ARTISTS series, a first introduction to great art which have sold millions of copies around the world…
to the hilarious SERIOUSLY SILLY STORIES…
the irrepressible CHIMP AND ZEE…
books illustrated by brilliant artists such as Tony Ross…
and many, many classic picture books about the ups and downs of family life…
The Anholts trained as Fine Artists and have Master’s Degrees from the Royal College of Art and the Royal Academy respectively.
Many of the Anholts’ books grew directly from family life with their three now grown children, Claire and twins, Tom and Maddy.
Projects in progress include a multicultural picture called ONE WORLD TOGETHER …
The latest title in Laurence’s self-illustrated Anholt’s Artists series…
And finally here is some VERY EXCITING NEWS! In October 2016, Laurence’s first full length novel for Young Adults will be published by Penguin Random House.
