Terry Fan.

Writer & illustrator · Canada

Terry Fan: Canadian picture-book maker (with brother Eric as The Fan Brothers) behind The Night Gardener, The Antlered Ship and The Barnabus Project — meticulous, dreamlike, literary picture books for ages 4–10.

Terry Fan is one of three brothers (with Eric Fan and Devin Fan) collectively known as The Fan Brothers, Canadian author-illustrators best known for atmospheric, painterly literary picture books: The Night Gardener, The Antlered Ship, Lizzy and the Cloud, The Barnabus Project, Ocean Meets Sky, It Fell from the Sky. Terry works closely with Eric on most titles; their joint style is meticulous, dreamlike, slightly Edwardian-illustrative, with quietly magical themes and a strong gift-shelf register. The Fan Brothers' books have become a fixture of the literary-picture-book / adult-co-reading market. Strong appeal for ages 4–10.
