Josh Morgan

Award-winning illustrator Josh Morgan (Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki, Rongowhakaata, Pākehā) lives in Wellington with the author Sacha Cotter, their family and a vast hoard of picturebooks. Together with Sacha, they form the storytelling / song-writing / award-winning picture-book-making team, Cotter & Morgan. By day Josh works as a visual designer. By night, he works as a freelance illustrator creating pictures for books, TV, animation, School Journals, maps and magazines. Keys / Ngā Kī, The Marble Maker / Te Kaihanga Māpere, The Bomb / Te Pohū, and Dazzlehands / Ringakōreko are all illustrated by Josh, published by HUIA Publishers, written by Sacha and translated by the very talented Kawata Teepa. Josh grew up in the mighty Manawatū, spending his school days drawing silly things in the back of his exercise books. He still spends way too much time drawing silly things but these days it's mostly on bills and meeting notes.
