Bruce Whatley Boeken
Bruce Whatley is een zeer gerespecteerde Australische auteur en illustrator wiens werken aanzienlijke genegenheid hebben gekregen van lezers. Hij staat vooral bekend om zijn samenwerkingen, waarbij hij een unieke visuele flair toevoegt aan verhalen die resoneren bij een jong publiek. Whatley's artistieke benadering wordt gekenmerkt door een scherp oog voor detail en een speels maar inzichtelijk begrip van storytelling, waardoor zijn illustraties een essentieel onderdeel worden van de boeken waaraan hij bijdraagt. Zijn onderscheidende stijl spreekt voortdurend tot de verbeelding en verstevigt zijn reputatie als een gewaardeerde stem in de kinderliteratuur.
The Tinytoreum takes you to the world of Shaggy Gully where bush-genius George Gunna Goanna began his career as an inventor. Using just his imagination and whatever bits and pieces he could find, Gunna created many fabulous things for his friends and family. This book showcases just a few of them. This is the story that Jackie French and Bruce Whatley came up with when we invited them to weave a tale around these smaller-than-life-size objects from the Museums collection. The result is a journey of the imagination that brings these little things to life in a surprising, funny and extremely inventive way.
