Lisa Bentley is a children’s book Author and Illustrator from Derby in the UK.
Her lifelong passion for reading and drawing began at an early age, and she's been wielding
a pencil ever since. She is also the proud mother of two mini-humans, whom she loves
spending time with alongside their Daddy, Dan.
Lisa loves to write about themes close to her heart and takes a lot of inspiration from her
childhood and her own children. She enjoys creating whimsical stories and illustrations, but
her creative range enables her to write and illustrate themes of a more humorous nature
too.
When she's not creating art or new stories, Lisa indulges in tea-sipping and cake-eating,
although she absolutely despises pairing socks, fishy fish and slugs that invade her humble
abode. She is constantly on the lookout for new artistic inspiration and good cake shops.
Lisa has two picture books published by Simon and Schuster. Her debut titled The Dreams
We Made and her second title I AM NOT YOUR HAT!
