Rebecca Ashdown Petrie is an internationally published, award nominated illustrator & author. She grew up by the sea, on the south coast of England, spending most of her childhood reading, writing, drawing, and running wild. Now, as a maker of picture books, she does much the same.
Her bestselling books include Thunderboots, Bob and Flo, amongst others. The Hug Button is her latest picture book with author Naomi Jones and Oxford University Press.
Rebecca works from her studio in the countryside near Stroud in the UK, where she lives with her husband and two children.
Rebecca was born in West Sussex and grew up right by the sea. After working as a graphic & motion designer, filmmaker and freelance vector artist for years, she has returned to traditional image making and illustration. Her work currently combines a mix of drawing, printmaking and collage with digital techniques.
