Benji Davies is an illustrator, author and animation director. In his books he aims to capture how it feels to be a child. By immersing themselves in the stories he writes and illustrates, Benji hopes that children will find a quiet confidence with which to navigate the noise and bustle of the real world. His first self-penned picture book The Storm Whale - since hailed a modern classic - won the inaugural Oscar’s Book Prize and was Dutch Picture Book Of The Year 2017. His second, Grandad’s Island, garnered similar plaudits, winning the children’s book category of the AOI World Illustration Awards and being crowned Children’s Book of the Year at the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Awards. In 2020 he won Oscar's Book Prize for a second time with Tad, a story about a tadpole making its way in the big, wide pond. All three of these books have since been adapted for the stage. He is the illustrator of Nosy Crow’s internationally bestselling board book series, Bizzy Bear. Benji’s books can been read in over thirty-five languages and have sold many millions of copies around the world. Benji lives in East London with his wife and daughter.
