Monika Filipina (Illustrator)
Monika started working as a children's book illustrator in 2012. Since then, she has worked with clients all over the world on more than 50 books, including 11 she wrote herself. Her books have been translated into over 20 languages and have published in the UK, USA, Italy, Spain, Poland, China, Korea, Germany, Brazil, and many more countries. In 2013, her book Oh! What a Tangle, published by Digital Leaf, won the Golden Pinwheel Award for Best International Children's Book at the Shanghai Children's Book Fair.
As a child, Monika dreamed of being a cowboy, an archaeologist, or an astronaut - but her biggest dream was to create children's books. In 2014, Monika completed a Master's degree in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Arts. She now lives in Torun, Poland, with her husband, children, and a dachshund, and balances her work with time in nature, exercising, and exploring the forest for inspiration.
