Little Snail Goes House-Hunting

Bia Melo is a Brazilian-born illustrator and author based in East London. She studied Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. Her debut picture book, The Dream Book, was shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize and selected as The Times' Best Children's Books of the Summer. Bia’s vibrant tropical influences are reflected in her bold use of colours and textures. She finds inspiration in little details of everyday life, turning them into pieces set in a fun atmosphere, using humour and quirky characters in a visually playful approach.

“Children will enjoy Little Snail’s fanciful house hunt with the comical illustrations, including the layout at the turning point in the story.”
