As the son of a paper merchant and potter, Scott Plumbe's natural childhood curiosity resulted in endless summer days drawing and building things out of clay. It’s no surprise that even today, he spends most days sketching and giving form to ideas. He is an award-winning artist who has illustrated dozens of stories. When not busy creating art for books, he works hard designing exhibits for museums, science centres and interpretive centres. Scott loves unpacking new stories and sharing each discovery with new audiences.
