Wonderwise books bridge the gap between stories and facts, perfect for building children's love of learning and reading.
Mick Manning (born in Yorkshire, England, 1959) and Brita Granstrom
(born in Eskilstuna, Sweden, 1969) work together as a team sharing
the illustration and text. They have been producing award-winning
non-fiction picture books for almost twenty years. They show that
the best non-fiction for children can be scholarly, albeit with a
light touch, and can have some of the imagination-stretching
qualities of fiction.
They are well known for their exciting performances involving
readings and live drawing using overhead camera projection (often
involving participation from members of the audience) all mixed
with an audio-visual presentation. They appear on a regular basis
at major UK book festival venues such as Bath, Cheltenham and
Edinburgh International Book Festival. They have appeared at The
Royal Society Science Festival and have celebrated The Big Draw at
various venues including The Imperial War Museum.
They have worked closely to support libraries and schools,
performing voluntarily to school classes in the UK and Sweden and
have also attended the American Library Conference and visited US
schools.
Many of Manning & Granstrom's books are translated into a number of
languages, including Chinese, German, Greek, Danish, Japanese,
Norwegian, Swedish and Slovakian.
For the last 12 years Mick & Brita have created, written and
illustrated a monthly 5-page gentle pre-school series called 'Max
and Kate' for the critically acclaimed US children's magazine
Ladybug.
