Natasha Mamonova (she/her)

Hello there! I'm Natasha, an illustrator born in Russia and raised from age 11 in Singapore. In my work I strive to depict anything I find entertaining about life – whether it is whimsical, slightly disturbing, wholesome, or comedic.

My favourite thing about creating stories is making people laugh, have fun and be silly! I believe that the best children's books are those that find their place in hearts of both children and adults, and humour is the best way to connect to both!

Choice of media ranges from pencils, pastels, and paints to digital, with which I became proficient during my Bachelor’s in Animation. I also have done freelancing as an illustrator, and editorial designer for a few independent companies. In my free time I love getting new books which I have no time to read and organise playlists for my friends.

This is Going to Sound Silly

An absurd tale of a girl being followed by a mysterious red horse, and how she chooses to deal with this problem.

New in Town

As the title suggests, this story is about moving to a new place and everything that follows – the excitement, the nervousness, and the making of new friends.
