He has a passion for collaborating with like-minded creative individuals and a desire to promote conservation and the exploration of open spaces and nature. He's also a big believer in having fun - if it's not fun, he's not interested. In many respects he's a big kid at heart! In 2023 Andy, and his team at MLB won "Best Children's Nature Leaning Book" at the Little Trekkers Awards. He's also picked up PageTurner Awards and Golden Wizard Awards for his children's books both as author and founder or Muddy Little Boots. "Rosie has a knack for capturing that childlike inquisitiveness, like when children flick over rocks to discover what lies beneath or the delight when learning just what animals eat in the wild! Without a doubt her illustrations really bring this book to life and keep children eager to discover more." -- Andy Hussey. Based in Bristol, Rosie is an award-winning illustrator, providing all the beautiful imagery for Any Trout About. Rosie loves illustrating people, animals and our glorious countryside. She believes "imaginations should have no boundaries" and we couldn't agree more!  She achieved an MA in Children's Publishing from Bath Spa University and a BA in Illustration from Arts University Bournemouth. In 2019 she became a Purple Dragonfly Book Award Winner and in 2023 won The PageTurner Best Illustrated Book And Best Book Cover Award.
