Iain Rigby, author of Frogs Don’t Quack, loves writing children’s books, which is a good job as he can’t dance and is terrible at solving fractions or anything with a strange sign written by aliens.
When he’s not creating new characters and bringing their story to life, he enjoys reading comics, building Lego projects and playing video games. Sticky out ears were a problem when he was younger, so as a teenager he grew his hair long to hide his Elvish heritage.
He also writes non-fiction, and his latest book, Traffic Light, is about living with depression from a young age.
He lives in the UK with his wife, two daughters and dog, Bailey, who stars in his own book and has become a bit of a diva. Iain says “a cup of tea and a slice of Victoria sponge cake solves almost any problem — except fractions!”.
