Matthew Porter is een veelgeprezen kinderboekenschrijver en -illustrator wiens werken nostalgie en moderne elegantie meesterlijk combineren. Zijn unieke stijl, met wijd-ogige dieren en brutale apen, is vervaardigd met acrylverf op hout. Het hout wordt zorgvuldig geschuurd om de natuurlijke nerf te benadrukken, en de stukken worden afgewerkt met gedurfde, sterke lijnen. Zijn onderscheidende visuele taal heeft brede erkenning gekregen en belichaamt een speelse maar verfijnde esthetiek.
