BIOGRAPHY
Anita Jeram was born and brought up in Portsmouth. After
school she had a variety of jobs including working in a
crisp factory and as a kennel assistant. She did a foundation
course in visual studies at Manchester Polytechnic, followed
by a degree course in illustration. Her tutor, also an illustrator,
took some of her work to Walker Books and her first book,
Bill's Belly Button, was published a year after she graduated.
Her second book, It Was Jake!, was included on the National
Curriculum SAT reading list. Anita is best known for Guess
How Much I Love You, which has rapidly become established
around the world as a new picture-book classic. Over a million
copies were printed in the first year of publication and
it was one of the best-selling children's books in both
Britain and America. Guess How Much I Love You was shortlisted
for the 1994 Kurt Maschler Award and for the Illustrated
Children's Books category of the 1994 Bristish Book Awards.
Anita particularly enjoys drawing animals and has a menagerie
of animals at home including cats, a dog, ducks, chickens
and reptiles.
Anita is married to a paleontologist and has two sons,
Joe and Dan, and a daughter, Kitty. She lives in Northern
Ireland and hopes, eventually, to set up a wildlife sanctuary
there.
