When she’s not working, she can always be found enjoying the company of her precious dogs, Hank and Maggie.

Illustrator:
Maia Batumashvili was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1978. From a young age, Maia has loved to draw and is inspired by the children’s books and cartoons she grew up with. After graduating from two art institutes, Maia worked on an animation project before finally realising her dream of illustrating children’s books. When Maia is not creating imaginative worlds, she enjoys spending time with her three beautiful children and her dog, Tayo.
