Kemp, Anna

Anna Kemp grew up on a street with a gang of kids and spent her childhood sticker-swapping, playing Pac-man, and coordinating BMX displays. She was a bit of a late reader but now reads a lot in her job at Oxford University where she works on contemporary French literature. Her first picture book, "Dogs Don t Do Ballet", was published in 2010. "Fantastic Frankie and the Brain-Drain Machine" was her first young fiction title and published in 2011.
