Dionnie Takahashi is an author-illustrator who loves working on imaginative and adventurous stories; the funnier and sillier the better. She works digitally and constantly learns new ways to improve her storytelling skills. She received a BA (Hons) in Multimedia Art (Animation) from Birmingham City University and is also qualified to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL) to young learners. She lives in Japan with her husband, their two children, and a pair of rescued cats from the same litter. When she’s not making books, Dionnie loves gardening, napping, reading her picture book collection, and watching movies with her family.
