Rob Biddulph at St Austell Festival of Children's Literature

  • St John’s Methodist Church, Bodmin Road, St Austell, PL25 4AE (map)

Come and see award-winning author and illustrator Rob Biddulph perform live in CORNWALL! There will be stories, laughs and a live (mystery) drawalong! Rob’s first picture book, Blown Away, published in 2014, was only the second picture book to win the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. Since then, Rob has written and illustrated twelve more picture books, including Odd Dog Out and Gigantic, the bestselling Peanut Jones series of novels, and he has created a range of award-winning activity books. Rob’s series of #DrawWithRob videos, designed to help parents with children at home from school due to the pandemic, became a viral hit when launched in March 2020. The videos – featuring many of Rob’s own book characters – have captured the imaginations of families, children and artists, young and old, around the world and been watched almost ten million times on YouTube. Rob holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest online art lesson when over 40,000 families joined him online to draw a whale in May 2020.
