Tim Warnes
Award-winning illustrator Tim Warnes shares a studio at his home in the Dorset countryside with his wife, illustrator Jane Chapman. They have two young sons. Tim spends a lot of time helping at the village school and his careful observations can be seen in all the authentic details of an infant classroom that he has included in Boris Starts School and also in the way he has successfully captured the solicitous, motherly demeanour of Miss Cluck and the mannerisms of the little pupils in her care.
Tim is best known for illustrating the Little Tiger and Santa books for Little Tiger Press. I Don’t Want to go to Bed! won the Nottinghamshire Children’s Book Award in 1996 and I Don’t Want to have a Bath! won in 1997. Scaredy Mouse was commended in the Sheffield Children’s Book Awards in 2003. Tim’s ideas for Boris Starts School came from time spent in his son’s school and the ninja rat characters came from watching too many animé inspired cartoons! Miss Cluck is based on one of Tim’s bantam hens.
