Becky Colvin

Becky Colvin studied illustration at The University of West England in Bristol and went on to win the prestigious Macmillan Prize for Illustration in 2023. Princes Don't Practise is the second work Becky has illustrated after her debut picture book, The Great Green Island, published in 2025. Becky loves telling stories, capturing both the quiet and the exceptional moments in life – her main personality trait is drawing, so it won’t surprise you to know that that’s what she spends most of her time doing. She also knows a freaky amount about clouds and is wildly mediocre at juggling.
