Kate Olive Richards

A little about me:

I am a children’s picture book writer and illustrator originally from London, UK. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Product Design from Central St. Martins College and began my career as a graphic designer. After contracting COVID-19 in 2020 and facing the challenges of CFS, I turned to writing children’s songs, which soon evolved into creating picture books. Writing and illustrating have allowed me to channel my experiences into stories that resonate with young readers. When not writing in my favourite coffee shop, I find inspiration in nature, play the drums, and take life drawing classes.
