Caryad graduated with a diploma in design from the Glasfachschule in Rheinbach, Germany and has been a freelance illustrator since 1993. She has illustrated for numerous roleplaying, board, and card games, children's books, puzzles, novels, and nonfiction books. Her charming and humorous illustrations can be found in the many Wimmelbooks she creates.
"The large board books in the My Big Wimmelbook series are full of
lively, crowded tableaux of people and animals going about their
business in different settings. [Wimmelbooks] abound with witty
details to draw in younger children . . . and older toddlers will
want to follow the wordless interactions that spill from one page
to the next in these eventful pictures."
*The Wall Street Journal*
"You know the kid who can conjure an entire imaginary world by
animating, say, the sugar packets she finds at the restaurant
table? That one will thank you when you put any volume of My Big
Wimmelbook in front of her. . . . Picture Richard Scarryesque,
diorama-like spreads with a hint of Where’s Waldo junior detective.
The combination should encourage long contemplative sit-downs that
will make any parent’s heart sing."
*The New York Times Book Review*
"Wimmelbooks offer limitless engagement for little kids—think
updated, culturally relevant versions of Where’s Waldo."
*Fanny Singer and Greta Caruso, The Green Spoon*
"An opening spread outlines particular characters and objects for
readers to locate, including a couple with a selfie stick,
reporters on the scene, and a pizza delivery man . . . The spreads
aren’t as jam-packed as a typical Where’s Waldo panorama, allowing
for younger readers to spot characters and objects with ease."
*Publishers Weekly*
"With My Big Wimmelbooks, kids experience their self-efficacy as
something special, which makes them proud and, in turn, activates
new ‘learning.’ The inner motivation that comes with their desire
to satisfy their curiosity is the ultimate source of ongoing
learning."
*Dr. Kristina Unterweger, educational psychologist*
