A sweet and funny rhyming story with a gentle empathetic message.
Julia Donaldson is the outrageously talented, prize-winning author
of the world's best-loved picture books. She was the UK Children's
Laureate 2011-13 and has been honoured with a CBE for Services to
Literature. Her books include The Paper Dolls, the bestselling What
the Ladybird Heard and the modern classic The Gruffalo, which has
sold over 13.5 million copies worldwide and has been translated
into over sixty languages. Julia also writes fiction as well as
poems, plays and songs and her brilliant live children's shows are
always in demand. Julia and her husband Malcolm divide their time
between Sussex and Edinburgh.
Karen George has always loved drawing and painting and as a child
it was her absolute favourite thing to do. A graduate of The Royal
College of Art, Karen used to paint sets for films but turned her
creative attentions to picture book illustration after becoming mum
to her two young sons. In 2009 Karen won the inaugural Waterstones'
Picture This competition and illustrated Julia Donaldson's story,
Freddie and the Fairy. She now writes her own stories as well as
illustrating, and lives in Bristol with her family and Dr Calamari
the cat.
