Jennie Maizels is an artist, illustrator, and educator.[1] She worked on pop-up books with Kate Petty.[2] She has also authored her own books.[3]

Early life and education

Maizels was born in London in 1970. She attended Northfields School For Girls, and then studied from 1990 to 1993 at Central St. Martins School of Art, from which she graduated with a bachelor's degree in graphic design.[4]

Work and career

After graduation she worked for Harvey Nichols, The Body Shop and Dillons bookshop making window displays.[4] She also began collaborating with the children's book author Kate Perry, illustrating Perry's The Great Grammar Book in 1996.[2] Maizels and Perry worked together for 16 years, "producing eight children's books which sold over a million copies worldwide."[5][4]
