About the Author
James Mayhew created his first Katie book, Katie’s Picture Show, over twenty years ago as a way to share his enthusiasm for art with children. His series of Katie books are much-loved and respected as an early introduction to art. Also in the series is Katie in London, which has been an extremely popular guide to England’s capital city. Ella Bella Ballerina and the Sleeping Beauty was James’s first title featuring the adorable Ella Bella, and has been illustrated using a new delightfully retro art style. James lives in Hertfordshire with his wife and son.
