I'm a Little Teapot!

Annie Kubler was born in 1960, in the north east of France, in a mountainous area called the Vosges, where she spent her childhood. In 1978, she entered the School of Decorative Arts of Strasbourg to eventually specialise, in the final two years, in Children's Illustration. In 1983 she gained a National Diploma in Visual Communication.

In 1985, she moved to England, having been offered a job by publisher Michael Twinn, owner of Child's Play International Ltd.

For the past 20 years she has been Art Director of Child's Play, while illustrating many children's titles, including Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Winner of the Sainsbury's Baby Book Award in 2002).

At present, she lives with her partner Chris and their three children, Millie, Joni and Harry in a little village in Wiltshire.
