James Mayhew

James 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. Ella Bella Ballerina and The Sleeping Beauty was James's first title featuring the adorable ballerina, which was quickly followed by the glorious Ella Bella and Cinderella and Ella Bella and Swan Lake. James lives in Letchworth, Hertfordshire with his wife and son.
