About this title

About the Author:

Brian Wildsmith has deservedly won a reputation as one of the greatest living children's illustrators. In 1962 he published his first children's book, ABC, for which he was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal, Britain's equivalent to the Caldecott Medal. He was also a runner up for this medal for The Owl and the Woodpecker. He has said: I believe that beautiful picture books are vitally important in subconsciously forming a childs' visual appreciation, which will bear fruit in later life. The Brian Wildsmith Art Museum is in Izukogen, a town south of Tokyo. Last year in Japan, almost one and a half million people visited a traveling exhibition of his work. Brian currently lives in France.
