Shoo Rayner

Author and illustrator

Shoo began his career as an illustrator in a garden shed near Machynlleth. He drew for Michael Morpurgo and Rose Impey, but editors kept encouraging him to write. Many years, and over 175 books later, Shoo, well known for his many fast-paced stories, has been building a worldwide following for his award-winning ‘How to draw’ videos for YouTube. Shoo lives in the Forest of Dean with his wife and three cats.

Shoo is the author and illustrator of the Dragon Gold trilogy and Walker: The Boy who can talk to dogs (2019).  Find out more at www.shoorayner.com.
