Fiona Dunbar spent much of her childhood secretly drawing cartoon stories in her bedroom, though none of her characters actually came to life. Her first job was drawing storyboards for TV advertisements, after which she became a freelance illustrator. As her head was filling up with stories, she had no choice but to spill them onto the page in the form of picture books, followed by the enchanting and critically acclaimed Lulu Baker Trilogy. Fiona lives in London with her husband and two children. Toonhead is her fourth novel for children.
