Vivienne To is an illustrator and visual development artist working in film and publishing. Most recently Vivienne has worked as the Art Director on The Lego Batman Movie.

Her first picture book was The Sloth Who Came To Stay, with author Margaret Wild. She is currently based in Wellington, New Zealand. When she isn't drawing, she can be found knitting on the couch, watching cute dogs at the local park or reading in the children's section of the library and trying to blend in.

Shelly grew up in a tiny English village where she was surrounded by animals, the occasional pixie fairy and her best friend Cracker, a feisty palomino pony.

She was the middle child of three, but also had eleven foster siblings (not all at the same time!). Shelly studied teaching and biology at university in Birmingham and moved to Australia in 2002, where she has since married an Aussie with two beautiful kids and added another two to the brood.

She plays with words all week long and loves that she can call it 'work'.
