Suzanne Francis Hendra (born 15 August 1973) is a British writer and illustrator of over 70 books for children, many co-written with Paul Linnet ,[1] including Barry the Fish with Fingers[2] Her books Wanda and the Alien[3] and Supertato have been adapted for television.[4]
Hendra had been working as an illustrator for several years before she changed her style due to the persuasion of Vicki Willden-Lebrecht of Bright Agency.[6]
Hendra and Paul Linnet 's book, Barry the Fish With Fingers was considered colourful and cheerful by Publishers Weekly.[10] Hendra used gouache paint and deliberately created bright, flat compositions for the book, which Kirkus Reviews says introduced an "impossibly endearing little fish."[11]The New York Times wrote that "Hendra's bright and cheerful undersea characters make the ocean seem like a great place to be."[12]No-Bot, the Robot With No Bottom won the Picture Book Award in the 2014 Oxfordshire Book Awards.[13]
The television adaptation of Wanda and the Alien was produced for the United Kingdom'sChannel 5 Milkshake programming by Random House Enterprises and Komixx Entertainment.[14] "Wanda and the Alien" also appeared on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels in most countries.[15] "Wanda and the Alien" was shortlisted for the 17th Big Chip Award in 2015.[16]
Along with Paul Linnet, Hendra wrote a book for 2016's World Book Day titled Supertato: Hap-Pea Ever After for pre-school children.
