Robin Tatlow-Lord
Robin Tatlow-Lord is an illustrator, writer and cartoonist living in Tarntanya (Adelaide, Australia). Her illustrations are vivid and expressive, conveying the wonder, imagination and ‘big feelings’ of childhood from frustration and worry to joy and surprise.
Robin has illustrated three picture books and a (forthcoming) junior fiction series, working with publishers such as Affirm Press, EK Books and Little Book Press. In 2021 she was shortlisted for the CBCA Award for New Illustrator for her first picture book, Go Away, Worry Monster!
Robin uses colour pencils, watercolor, ink, collage and an ipad. She has various picture book and graphic novel projects in the works, and when she isn’t drawing she plays roller derby, runs kids' art workshops… and chases around after her boisterous, book-loving toddler!

Nora’s Missing Masterpiece
When Nova realizes the artwork she created for Dad’s birthday present is missing, her tummy flip flops and her heart ker-thumps. She and her dog, Harley, turn the house upside down, searching absolutely everywhere, but the missing masterpiece is nowhere to be found. Nova loses her temper but Harley remains calm and content. Can Nova learn from her dog, calm herself down and find her Dad’s present in time for his birthday party?
‘Nova’s Missing Masterpiece is a likeable book. It’s also a good reminder of self-regulating techniques for kids to use in times of stress, such as slow belly breathing, drinking water, listening to music, stretching and relaxing (all modelled by the adorable Harley). Robin Tatlow-Lord’s illustrations are bold and detailed, with the fairy garden and cubby-house pages particularly appealing.’ — Books and Publishing
