Fabi Santiago
Fabi writes and illustrates children’s books and YA fiction.
After studying art and design in Rio de Janeiro, Fabi found her way to the MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art, from where she graduated in 2014.
Fabi's illustrations are full of movement and bold limited colours, and her media of choice is screen-printing. She likes the outdoors, cycling, dance and theatre, all of which are inspiration for her stories.
Her first picture book, Tiger in a Tutu, published by Hachette, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2017.
Fabi graduated from the Bath Spa MA Writing for Young People in 2022, and is writing a YA horror-comedy, Raising the Dead for Dummies.
She lives in London.
