Emma Quay grew up near Cambridge, England, and as a child drew little characters on every scrap of paper she could find. She wanted to be a children’s book illustrator from a very early age. Soon after college, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London purchased examples of Emma’s illustrative work, for its permanent collection of prints and drawings. After moving to Sydney in 1993, Emma was introduced to the publisher Mark Macleod with whom she has enjoyed working on five picture books to date. She both wrote and illustrated Reggie and Lu. Emma has also illustrated titles from the popular Aussie Nibbles series. Emma lives in Sydney with her Australian husband and two young daughters.

As you browse our website you will be informed of the stock status of particular titles. If you are unsure what the status means, an explanation will pop up when your mouse cursor moves over it.

Please note:
Individual titles stock status is updated three times a week so reports are normally accurate.

From time to time however we can have multiple orders come in between website updates so status reports for a short period of time may be inaccurate, which means a title listed as "In Stock" may need to go to backorder.
