Children's Literature Festival: Picture Book Workshop with Yasmeen Ismail

As part of the Clifton Children’s Literature Festival, join author-illustrator Yasmeen Ismail for a fun afternoon at Heron Books. Yasmeen will read from her most recent book, The Family Quiz written by Robert Tregoning, and guide you through a crafting activity. There will also be an opportunity to get your books signed! Suitable for ages 3+ The event is free but space is limited. Please RSVP to to reserve a place. Irish-born, Bristol-based Yasmeen Ismail is an award-winning author, illustrator and animator. Yasmeen studied at art school in her hometown, Dublin. After graduating, Yasmeen moved to London where she worked on many different projects ranging from advertising and short films to children’s publishing. After a few years of working hard in London Yasmeen changed career and began writing and illustrating picture books. Her illustrations are bright, fluid and full of energy and movement. She loves to work with anything that will give her bright colours and good marks on the page. Yasmeen loves to experiment and expand in all areas of her work and is constantly trying new ways to improve her writing and drawing. Yasmeen has now illustrated over 15 books and has written 12 of them. She continues to make books everyday. When she’s not painting or writing you can find her doing the laundry. On occasion you may see Yasmeen out and about. Perhaps doing a show or visiting a school.
