Steve Antony enjoys exploring diverse themes in picture books from ‘saying please’ to the futility of war. His 2014 debut The Queen’s Hat was adapted into a concert by the LSO and Please Mr Panda was chosen as Picture Book of the Month by US retailer Barnes & Noble, who held 650 Panda events over one weekend. Steve has illustrated a cover for The Famous Five and recently illustrated Tim Minchin’s When I Grow Up.
