About the illustrator:
Born in London, Siski has lived in various countries and currently resides in Chile with her family of humans and dogs.
Painting watercolours gives her the same joy as swimming, eating scones with jam or swinging in a hammock.
She is largely self-taught, having taken a handful of watercolour and illustration courses over the years.
More than anything, Siski loves children's books. She would eat them if she could. But they don’t taste as good as scones.
