Mervi Lindman
Mervi Lindman, born 1971 in Finland, is a popular illustrator who makes both the facts and the reasoning even clearer with her warm, clever pictures.
In 2016 the first two books in the series about Baby was published – colourful children’s books about an expressive, emotional and mischievous little baby. Humorous reading for the youngest.
Mervi Lindman works with many different illustration styles. Mostly she uses watercolour and gouache. In this way, she can make humorous and vibrant images.
Her desire is to make books that delight both children and adults. She enjoys much about the books, besides laughter and good humour, even giving the children something to think about and talk about.
