Rob talks about his career as an author and illustrator and explains the role of an agent and why they are important to creatives. Rob discusses his book Draw with Rob: Fantastic Food, and why food is a talking point for all.  And, most importantly, we find out why Rob always wears his peaked cap!   Rob Biddulph is a bestselling and multi award-winning children's author and illustrator.
