Many of her books have been nominated, shortlisted and have won awards including three Kate Greenaway Medal nominations and was in the top 6 children’s books chosen by the United Nations Refugee Agency in 2015.

See inside Karin Littlewood's studio here. And here is a video interview where she talks about my favourite book - The Colour of Home.
I previously talked about Home Now. In this interview with Books for Keeps she talks about her book Immi.
Kirkus comment about Immi: Littlewood conveys her affecting story with illustrations done in watercolor, gouache and pencil. Through her compositions, she is able to communicate the scale of the environment, the expansiveness of the snow and the isolation—and later joy—Immi feels. The illustrator’s skillful painting and the softness of her expressive pencil work beautifully impart this gentle tale about the power of receiving—and of giving in return.
