Milly Gathard is an illustrator and first-time author based in London. She has been drawing figures and scenery since 2 years old. (Though she couldn't use the potty) Milly, who is autistic and has learning disabilities, decided to write a book after being failed by the system. Her first book, "Long scary Guin" was published when she was 17. She has always had a particular passion for creating characters. She hopes that she and her strange mind can inspire people to be their true selves.
