Katie Abey is a creative human committed to the idea that she can make a positive difference to the world by drawing perturbed animals and lots of rainbows. She has illustrated over 50 children's books, and is passionate about creating art that makes people feel proud of their individuality.

Amelia is much worse than them. The Van Derks don't tell me my jacket is rubbish and then invite Natalie over for the weekend, but not me, and then go on about all the popcorn and chocolate ice-cream they are going to eat while watching 15 certificate films, right in front of me. I mean, if the Van Derks did do that, I could see why my parents were bothered by them.
