Ben Cort is an award-winning illustrator whose books have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold millions of copies around the world. He illustrated the phenomenally popular Underpants series written by Claire Freedman, which has inspired a BAFTA-nominated animation and a theater show. Another of Ben and Claire's picture books, Monstersaurus, was also turned into a successful stage show which toured the UK. As a lifelong Beatles fan, Ben was thrilled to be commissioned to illustrate Ringo Starr's Octopus's Garden as a children's picture book. Visit him online at BenCort.com.
