Paul Linnet was born by the sea near to Brighton, but he grew
up in Derby, where he studied graphic design and played guitar in a
band called The Chihuahuas. Eventually Paul moved back to Brighton
where he met Sue Hendra and they instantly fell in love. Their
celebrated picture book partnership has created many bestselling,
award-winning books including Barry the Fish with
Fingers, Norman the Slug with the Silly
Shell, Supertato, and most recently the Laugh Out Loud
Book Award–winning I Need a Wee. Sue and Paul live with their
daughter Wanda in a house in Brighton where Paul likes to fuss
about with an old motorbike and still plays the guitar.
