Sarah McIntyre
Sarah McIntyre was our Writer-Illustrator in Residence from February to August 2017 – and she got us all wanting to draw unicorns.
Our former Writer-Illustrator in Residence Sarah McIntyre is easy to spot in her pointy glasses and hats.
Her books include the comic Vern and Lettuce, four books with Philip Reeve - including Pugs of the Frozen North and Jinks & O'Hare Funfair Repair - and picture books like There's a Shark in the Bath and Dinosaur Police. She loves creating books and comics with friends and getting inspired by batting around ideas and drawings with them.
She's immensely proud of Britain's amazing illustrators and how well their pictures tell stories, and in 2015, set up the #PicturesMeanBusiness campaign calling for people to credit illustrators for their work, whether that's in reviews, when sharing artwork on social media, on book covers, or in bookselling data.

On becoming Writer-Illustrator in Residence, Sarah said:
'During my residency, which I’m going to call the Big Red Book Show, I’m hoping to encourage children to draw with others, helping to generate new ideas, discover challenges and create a fun community. I’d like to encourage children (and grownups) to be kind to their drawings, forgive their drawings their foibles, be proud of sharing their work, and continue to make more drawings.'

A race to the far north among some very unconventional competitors and their vehicles. A winning combination of text, image, humour and sadness.
