Books By Jo Gliddon-Baker - Author

Aleksandra Szmidt is an award-winning children's book illustrator who grew up in the south of Poland before journeying to the other side of the world to live in New Zealand. Adept in both digital and traditional techniques, Aleksandra works from her home studio, creating one-of-a-kind artworks for clients across the globe. Her love of drawing children, animals and landscapes takes her back to the fun and adventures of her own childhood. To this she loves to add layers of magic and humour that are more imagination than reality. Jo Gliddon-Baker was born to tell stories! She loves: muffins, swimming in the ocean, being surrounded by nature, anything sparkly, singing, drawing and roller skating! Jo lives in Dawesville, Western Australia, with her husband, three boys, a dog called Rusty and a cat called Winston. Her most favourite things in the world are words and pictures and making magic with them.
