Petr Horacek grew up in on the outskirts of Prague, in the Czech Republic. He would listen to plays and stories on the radio or watch a film and then fill up his sketchbooks with pictures and images from the story he had just heard or seen.
He studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Prague where he painted and drew for six years before settling in the UK with his British wife. Their two daughters were the biggest inspiration for his work when they were little. Horacek’s first books, Strawberries Are Red and What Is Black and White? received the “Books for Children Newcomer Award” in 2001.
