Kylie Howarth is an author and illustrator of children’s books, living in Perth, Australia. She was raised in the country alongside her brother, dog, sheep, several orphaned kangaroos, and one very cheeky echidna.  

Kylie's obsession with animals also extends underwater as she has braved lionfish in Egypt, piranha and pink dolphins in the Amazon, marine iguanas and hammerhead sharks in the Galapagos Islands, and swum with whale sharks, manta rays, and humpback whales at Ningaloo, Western Australia.

Kylie's books have been published in Australia, New Zealand, France, Korea, Turkey, the U.S., and the UK, and she has won and been shortlisted for many prestigious children’s book awards.

Her workshops can focus on inspiring students to create their own characters; and inspiring and facilitating creative thinking.
