Ailie Busby has been illustrating children's books for children for more than 15 years. Her work has been published all over the world, including the UK, Italy, France, Korea, and the United States. Her many sources of inspiration include patterns, 1950's children's books, vintage finds--and, of course, her own children. Ailie lives in Newcastle, England, with her husband, two children, two cats, and their newest addition: Queenie, the Fox Terrier.
