About Jion Sheibani: Jion is the author and illustrator of Lily & The Polar Bears and The Worries young fiction series. She grew up in Brighton and now lives in Paris with her family. She’s a self-taught illustrator and studied English literature at Oxford University. When she moved to Paris, she taught English to students at Sciences Po and ENSAE universities before opening her own language school for children, Anglofun. Now, she mainly draws and writes in her garden studio. As well as picture books and young fiction, she also writes and illustrates for older readers. Her first YA novel, The Silver Chain, will  be released in April 2022. Find out more about Jion and her work here.

Each child (aged 5–9) may participate in the program on their own, while their chaperone remains inside the Library.
