Chris Naylor Ballesteros
Chris is a children’s book author and illustrator. His titles include the Kate Greenaway shortlisted The Suitcase and the popular Frank & Bert series amongst others. His work has been translated into over twenty languages. He grew up and lived in Bradford in the north of England, studying at Bradford Art College before moving to France many years ago.
When he isn’t drawing or writing you’ll find him walking his dog or wandering around the supermarket having forgotten the shopping list.
‘One of the most empathetic children’s books on giving kindness to strangers ever published… Be warned, this will make you burst into tears.’
