Levi Pinfold's debut, The Django, won the Book Trust Best New
Illustrator award and his second standalone picture book, Black
Dog, was awarded the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for
excellence in children's book illustration. This was followed by
Greenling, which won the UKLA Picture Book Award. Levi has recently
turned his considerable talents to illustrating fiction for older
readers, creating exquisite pieces for the twentieth-anniversary
special editions of the Harry Potter series and working with author
A. F. Harrold on The Song from Somewhere Else, which went on to win
the Amnesty Honour at the 2018 CILIP Kate Greenaway Awards.
He currently lives in NSW, Australia.
