The Snowiest Christmas Ever
Wednesday, 25th September 2019Here’s another book about bears, hot off the painting table, but this one shows a family in comic crisis at Christmas. The ever patient Papa Bear attempts to keep order as snow piles up INSIDE… He’s a far better parent than me. His strongest response is ‘Crumbs!’.
I don’t think I’ll ever get fed up with illustrating bears. I love their fat bottoms and relatively short legs – they look like toddlers with full nappies under their babygros.

My Life in Books
Tuesday, 2nd April 2019I’ve recently launched a new resource for lovers of kid lit: My Life in Books. Part memoir; part commentary; part review by an industry insider, my weekly blog is intended to give parents and carers confidence and encouragement to share their passion for literacy. Helping you create connections through kids’ books with your loved ones, and inspire a new generation to value reading for pleasure. You can find it here: My Life in Books.
I was pleased to discover that The Big Book Adventure has been recognised with two awards:
2019 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Silver Winner (Children’s Picture Books)
2018 Foreword INDIE Gold (Picture Books, Early Reader)
Go behind the scenes with me in my blog post: Piggy, Red and a Big, Bad Wolf.

a bit about us
We studied illustration together at Brighton University, graduating in 1993. Since then we’ve got married, had a couple of kids, and collectively illustrated over 180 books. Now we’re celebrating 20 Years in Children’s Books – YAY!
We live in rural Dorset, UK, not far from the Jurassic Coast. Although we work separately on our own commissions, we constantly refer to each other for advice when we get stuck. For instance, Jane is definitely better at perspective and providing cake, whereas Tim knows how to work the scanner and type an invoice.
Together we are CHAPMAN AND WARNES (a bit like Batman and Robin, but with less crime fighting and no capes)!
We would love to hear from you:
