Having seven nieces and nephews (and now great nieces and nephews) has provided her with the perfect excuse to read lots of children's books.

Maria Bogade studied Audiovisual Media at the University of Stuttgart before starting work as a 3D animation artist. She worked mainly for Studio Soi on award-winning projects like The Gruffalo.
