About the Author:

Bernadette Watts, known throughout Europe simply as Bernadette, has illustrated many dozens of folk- and fairy tales. Born in England, she loved to draw from childhood.

Bernadette finds her inspiration in nature. Today she lives and works in Kent. She has been illustrating for NorthSouth Books and NordSued Verlag since the beginning of her career fifty years ago.

Review:

"Her books generally display warm and pleasing colors that bathe each image in an almost theater-like setting: the lights have been dimmed, the curtain has been drawn, and the viewer has settled back, invited into the magic unfolding in Bernadette’s art and stories."-Seven Impossible Things, Julie Danielson

"Children will enjoy this collection for the well-told stories and the many full-page and double-page illustrations, which are notable for their evocative landscapes, fine use of line, and jewel-bright colors. A treasure trove for reading aloud." ―Carolyn Phelan, Booklist
