Leisa Stewart-Sharpe is a trained journalist turned children’s author, who writes stunning non-fiction and picture books. Her first book, Blue Planet II, is part of a major new children’s non-fiction series in collaboration with BBC Earth and published by Puffin.

Blue Planet II will be followed by three more titles in the series, based on brand new natural history programmes coming soon to the BBC. Leisa also has a handful of exciting non-fiction and picture books titles on the way – inspired by the natural world and its strange and wonderful creatures.

Leisa grew up in Australia, but now lives in a green English valley, with her husband and two wild things.
