Sandra Dieckmann biography

Sandra Dieckmann is an illustrator and author known for her work in children’s literature. She has created picture books that often feature nature and animals, drawing on her background in illustration and her interest in the natural world. Dieckmann’s distinctive artistic style is characterised by detailed, vibrant imagery.

Her debut picture book, Leaf, was published by Flying Eye Books in 2017. The story follows a polar bear who arrives in a forest and is misunderstood by the local animals, exploring themes of difference and acceptance. Dieckmann both wrote and illustrated the book, establishing her as a creator of both text and artwork.

Following Leaf, Dieckmann published Waiting for Wolf with Hodder Children’s Books in 2020. This picture book addresses themes of friendship and loss, and again features her signature illustrative style. Dieckmann has also illustrated books for other authors and contributed artwork to a range of projects beyond her own writing.

Her work has been recognised within the children’s publishing industry, and she continues to produce books and illustrations for young readers. Waiting for Wolf was published by Hodder Children’s Books in 2020.
