Jim Smith has sold one million children's books and his graphic novels inspire children all over the world who might otherwise not pick up a book. He won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2013 for his second book “I am still not a Loser” and the second book in the spin-off series Future Ratboy won The Laugh Out Loud Children's Book Awards in 2017 for 6–8-year olds.
In this World Book Day special, we discuss Jim's journey as an author, the inspiration for his characters and doodles, and the story behind his most famous creation Barry Loser. We ask why kids find Jim's book so funny - and Jim reveals his tips for aspiring graphic novelists.
Jim explains how he got started designing the packaging for the coffeeshop chain Puccino Coffee. He's also the illustrator and designer behind the gift and card range, Waldo Pancake.
Plus, there's a special guest appearance by one of Jim's greatest fans and a sneak peek at two new books which are out in a few months time.
