Lauren Child

Lauren Child is an English author and illustrator. She is best known for writing the Charlie and Lola books. The books where realised in 2000 and won the Kate Greenaway Medal, the same as Shierly Hughes.
From an early age she was surrounded by art as her father was head of art at Marlborough college.


I like how the illustrations use collage to give pattern and texture to the work as this lifts the images and stop them looking flat, it also adds a nice break up to the pictures as otherwise they would have been block colour. However I don’t like how the eyes and the hair all start to over lap each other, however I can see how the drawings would appeal to the younger audience .

I also think the hand drawn affect plays a good part of the illustration throughout the book which is friendly for which the book is aimed at, for children. They have also created the books into a series of TV shows which I find a good way for the children to see their favourite characters come to life!
