His own picture book Silly Doggy! won the Wanda Gag Read Aloud Book award and was longlisted for the Kate Greenaway. He has since published Troll and the Oliver, shortlisted for the Peters Books Award and the sequel Grumbug.

Adam has moved into writing younger fiction with a series about King Coo, a girl with a beard, lavishly illustrated and laugh out loud funny. Chosen for The Summer Reading challenge in 2019, he is also well known for his strong character designs, cover artworks and black and white illustrations. Forging a new dynamic partnership with David Walliams, Adam illustrates his younger picture books and older fiction, bringing his wonderful illustrations to a wider audience.
