Autorenporträt
Siski Kalla (1972) is a children’s book author/illustrator from the UK. Born into a storytelling family with Nordic, German and English roots, she has always loved imagining characters, settings and stories but only began illustrating 15 or so years ago. Being diagnosed autistic quite late in life, Siski wanted to write stories that might help children navigating neurodiversity, for themselves or those around them. Although Siski has illustrated titles such as I Don’t Like Birthday Parties (Welbeck Children), Gertie is Not All Dogs is the first book she has both written and illustrated (Clavis Publishing) making it her author-illustrator debut.
