Emma Chichester Clark

Emma Elizabeth Clark (born 15 October 1955)[1] is a British children's book illustrator and author. She has published over 60 books and is best known for her series of picture books about a child's toy called Blue Kangaroo.[2]

This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Chichester Clark, not Clark.

Life

Daughter of Robin Chichester-Clark and Jane Helen Goddard, Chichester Clark studied graphic design at Chelsea Art School in the 1970s. After two years working in a design studio, she studied illustration under Quentin Blake at the Royal College of Art. Her book Listen to this won the 1988 Mother Goose Award for best newcomer.[2]
