Judith Wisdom
Author & illustrator
Judith (Jude) Wisdom studied visual communication at Corsham Art College where everyone rode around on bikes in rural bliss. After that, she rather alarmingly had to enter the real world, where she illustrated for magazines including Harper's and
Queen, Tatler, Time Out and Just Seventeen.
Based on her experience of having been a child, Jude decided to try her hand at writing and illustrating children's books, namely Whatever Wanda Wanted, Miss Chicken and the Hungry Neighbour, Billy Jupiter and Go to Bed Doodlehead, which she illustrated for Ian Whybrow. She has also collaborated with the poet Susan Boyle, illustrating her sonnets Letters from Mexico.
Jude lives in Bath and draws her inspiration from time spent in bookstores and cafes, where her creative ideas come to life and where she sketches in her precious notebooks while meeting lots of new people and chatting with booksellers.
