About Fabi

Fabi Santiago is a children’s book author and illustrator who loves all things weird and spooky.

Fabi was born in Rio and raised in the Brazilian countryside. Her favourite things are camping, kayaking, pole dancing and making zombie apocalypse survival plans. Aside from her children’s book work, she is a self-taught artist and printmaker.

She is currently writing her first YA novel, inspired by her love of 90s horror movies, back garden parties, and badly behaved female characters. It has zombies in it.

Fabi works from her home studio in London, where she lives with a ginger fellow and their ungrateful (but terribly cute) cats.
