I Love You Every Colour: The perfect gift for your loved ones, from an award-winning author and illustrator

Caryl Lewis is a multi-award-winning Welsh novelist, children’s writer, playwright and screenwriter. Her breakthrough novel Martha, Jac a Sianco (2004) is widely regarded as a modern classic of Welsh literature, is on the Welsh curriculum, and the film adaptation - with a screenplay by Lewis herself – went on to win six Welsh BAFTAS. Lewis’s other screenwriting work includes BBC/S4C thrillers Hinterland and Hidden. Lewis has won Wales Book of the Year three times, most recently in 2023, and is the only writer to have won in both languages. Caryl’s work for children has twice scooped the Tir na n-Og Award, and has been shortlisted for both the Branford Boase and The Week Junior Awards. Her picture books include The Boy Who Dreamed Dragons and The Boy and the Octopus, both illustrated by Carmen Saldana, and I Love You Every Colour illustrated by Jill Calder. Lewis is a visiting lecturer in Creative Writing at Cardiff University, and lives with her family on a farm near Aberystwyth.
