WELCOME!
Known for her warm characters and interactive invention, Bridget Marzo is the award-winning artist-author of well over 20 picture books. (You can find more of her previous books, along with more illustrations and interviews in her Bridget Strevens Marzo archive site)
Bridget believes in the power of pens, pencils, paints – and picture books – to open our minds at any age.
What we all share in common, and how we grow together, is the theme of Bridget’s latest book, YOU, ME and OUR WHOLE WIDE WORLD. It is out now in paperback in 2023 with the Walker Books UK.

Bridget’s latest book
Bridget offers creative story making, colour and character making workshops for primary school classes, family events in libraries, museums and festivals across the world. She can work with all sizes of groups – her record was getting 1000 children and teachers drawing at the Beijing Bookworm Festival.
Thanks to her years teaching illustration and colour theory at Parsons Paris School of Design, and working as the first International Illustrator advisor for SCBWI, The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, she has also had long experience of giving talks and mentoring aspiring picture book makers.
