Fifi Colston has illustrated over 50 children's books for trade and education in her long career as a freelance creative. Wondering what it would be like to pen the words too, she forayed into writing at the IIML with a Masters degree in Creative Writing. In 2019 she was the Otago University College of Education, Creative New Zealand Writer in Residence where she wrote and illustrated two picture books and her fourth junior fiction novel to date Masher published by Penguin Random House. Cover and internal illustrations by herself of course!
