Sarah McMenemy has always loved the sea. "As a child, I often visited the seaside with my granny," she recalls. "These visits were treasured occasions of wonder and excitement. I wanted to create a story evoking those feelings." Sarah McMenemy graduated from Brighton College of Art. Her signature use of torn-paper collage combined with paint and ink can be seen on everything from clothing to the London Underground. She is the author-illustrator of WAGGLE, which BOOKLIST praised as "simple and joyful." She lives in London.
