Henrietta Stickland

Henrietta Stickland is an acclaimed author and businesswoman. She has been creating children’s books for thirty years and championing and giving a voice to new writers and illustrators of picture books, a genre she has always been passionate about. Her best known work, Dinosaur Roar! has roared into the hearts of millions of children all over the world. Over the years, it has sold millions of copies, been translated into more than twenty languages across different formats, and become a modern classic. Having given up the bright lights of London children’s publishing and moved to the countryside, Henrietta set up her publishing company Ragged Bears in the late 1980s, where for many years she put her talent and eye for good children’s books to professional use. Today, Henrietta has four grown-up sons and a menagerie of animals. When not writing from her home on the Somerset-Dorset border, you will find her in her organic garden, riding horses or walking her dogs through the beautiful countryside, and running an agricultural business with her husband.
