Conny Palmkvist is an award-winning writer, editor and literary critic from Sweden. Having made a name for himself writing historical fiction for adults, in 2020 Palmkvist was awarded for his children's book debut in a contest hosted by one of Sweden's largest children's book publishers. The jury praised his unique tone and dark sense of humour. His signature is, and will always be, his close perspective, as well as the poetic undercurrents of his texts.

He's the creator of several children's books including middle grade series Dream Defenders, award-winning novel The Wrong Shoes, picture books The Invisible and The River and the bestselling Big Bright Feelings series - translated into 21 languages.
