Kitty Harris Illustrator & Author

Kitty Harris is a writer and illustrator from South London. She studied theatre design at university before going on to gain a master’s in illustration.

Kitty debuted as a published illustrator with the non-fiction title ‘We Dug up the World’ by Alexandra Stewart, which was longlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize in 2024. She then went on to illustrate Kate Thompson’s lyrical picture book ‘All I Hope for You’, exploring digital and traditional media to create her illustrations.

‘Unstoppable’, a book about the global history of women’s football, is her first published work as both writer and illustrator. When Kitty is not drawing, you’re equally likely to find her kicking a football with friends or curled up in a corner reading a book.
