Sue Rinaldi

Sue Rinaldi is a UK illustrator who loves capturing the sweetness and whimsy of childhood. Initially trained as a violinist, she later worked for the BBC Proms publishing department. Her love of drawing resurfaced a few years later when she started her family. Since then, Sue has produced commissions for the BBC Proms and the London Symphony Orchestra, and she has illustrated several books for young readers. Suzie and Blush is the first book she has published as an author-illustrator, and it was a runner-up in the 2022 International Key Colours Competition. Sue lives in a beautiful market town with her two teenagers and works part-time in an elementary school, where she finds endless inspiration for her illustrations.
