Fred Blunt

FRED BLUNT has illustrated dozens of books, from picture books to early readers and chapter books, and happily illustrates many of his self-authored books. Humor has always been at the top of Fred's list when it comes to drawing. Right from those early (rather unflattering) portraits of teachers, Fred knew he wanted to entertain with his work. His picture book Santa Claus versus the Easter Bunny was a Sunday Times Book of the Year in 2018. Gnome was the winner of the 2020 InspiRead Picture Book Award, and Lionel the Lonely Monster was a 2021 Reading Agency ExpressYourself Booklist selection for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek.
